jQuery Passing $(this) to a Function

Question

I have lines of code like this:

$(this).parent().parent().children().each(function(){
    // do something
});

It works well. But I need to run

You can pass the id to the function. With your loop inside the function.

myFunc(this.id);

function myFunc(thisid) {
    $("#" + thisid).parent().parent().children().each(function(){
        // do something
    });
}

I would normally do the loop outside the function like below:

$(this).parent().parent().children().each(function(){
    myFunc(this.id)
});

function myFunc(thisid) {

    // do something example
   $("#" + thisid).html("Yay, i changed the html for element: " + thisid);
}
