How to pass a variable on jQuery timeout

I am seriously fighting today.

I need to pass a variable or even better an object in timeOut as such (example):

$('.x').each(function() 
{
  setTimeout(function()
  {
    alert ($(this).attr('id'))
  },10000);
});

Obviously what is happening is that timeOut has no reference to the original $(this)

Reference?

this

is context sensitive (and is different from a_jQuery_object.each

than in window.setTimeout

, but its reference can be copied to another variable that is not context sensitive. Traditionally used that

for this purpose.



$('.x').each(function() {
    var that = this; 
    setTimeout(function() { 
        alert ($(that).attr('id'))
    },10000); 
});
