obscure jquery syntax in supersized slider
<p>I was going through the supersized.3.2.5.js file of the full screen image slider - <a href="http://buildinternet.com/project/supersized/" rel="nofollow">supersized</a>. </p>

<p>I can't understand the syntax of the following lines. Though I am not pasting the complete code here yet i think that is not any prob for the syntax explanation.</p>

<pre><code>/* Variables
        ----------------------------*/
            var el = '#supersized',
            base = this;
        // Access to jQuery and DOM versions of element
        base.$el = $(el);
        base.el = el;
</code></pre>

<p>I need the explanation of the last 2 lines ...</p>
