passing $(this) from function to function

Question

I have 2 different event on different classes :

$(\'.box1\').click(function(){
$(this).find(\'something\').css(\'red\')
}

$(\'#otherId .box2\').change(function(         


        

Answer 1

this is a keyword so it can't be a param name

function getDetails(el) {
    el.find(".something").css('red');
}

$('#otherId .box2').change(function () {
    getDetails($(this))
})
