Send $(this) as parameter

When I try to send "this"(element fired) as parameter to the function, the function received "Object[Document build.php]" as arguments instead of the element fired. Please let me know my fault:

function set(arg) {
    var element = arg.data.param;
    console.log(element);
}
$(".build_icon_container").on("mouseenter", {param: $(this)}, set);

At the moment you are trying to execute $(this), this doesn't refer to the element(s) you are binding the event handler to.

It's much simpler:

this inside the event handler will already refer to the correct element:

function set(event) {
    console.log(this);
}

$(".build_icon_container").on("mouseenter", set);

jQuery has a nice set of tutorials regarding event handling: http://learn.jquery.com/events/event-basics/.
