jquery question concerning selectors and $(this)
<p>Ok this is a general question about how to solve this issue, not to find some work around for the example given.</p>

<p>Lets say I have a $(this) object and it is a select, if I want to select the selected option and I had an id I could just bust a</p>

<p>$('#id option:selected')</p>

<p>game over.</p>

<p>but with a this I can't go $(this+' option:selected') or anything like that.</p>

<p>I am not so concerned with selecting the option:selected in the example so I don't want to know a workaround solution for this instance.</p>

<p>What I want to know is in general how you combine the subselectors like :has or option:selected with a $(this) situation.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
