this.offset is not a function within a click function

Question

The error is that _this.offset is not a function. I logged this to the console and it was the

element I clicked on, so I am confused why

Answer 1

Replace these two lines:

var topx = _this.offset().top;
var leftx = _this.offset().left;

with:

var topx = _this.offsetTop;
var leftx = _this.offsetLeft;

As .offset() is a jquery function and _this is a DOM element.

Also for your .css line you have to wrap _this in $(...) again because _this is a DOM element and **not a jQuery object.
