Can you save $(this) as a variable?

Is it possible to save $(this) as a variable inside of a jquery event so that you can compare it against other varaibles holding elements? If so, how would you go about doing this?

I do this al the time! :)

var $el = $(this);

Note $ before el. This does nothing actually, it is for you to remember that this is jquery var.

Yes why not.

$(element).click(function(){ //any event
    var th = $(this);
});
