Check which element has been clicked with jQuery
<p>I am trying to use an 'if' statement to determine which element was clicked.</p>

<p>Basically I am trying to code something along the lines of:</p>

<pre><code>if (the element clicked is '#news_gallery li .over') {
    var article = $('#news-article .news-article');
} else if (the element clicked is '#work_gallery li .over') {
    var article = $('#work-article .work-article');
} else if (the element clicked is '#search-item li') {
    var article = $('#search-item .search-article');
};
</code></pre>

<p>What is the proper jQuery syntax for this? Many thanks in advance.</p>
