How to use the javascript this

How to use the javascript this

Hi,

I wonder if i in some way can use the javascript this object and how i can relate it to an object i jQuery without having to specify a id or name on the HTML tag
My tip works fine if the object have a id or name, but sometime it would be nice to put the tip on the <tr> so the tip cover the whole line, but for now the reg. is id or name for the mouseout to work.

So is there a way to bind events based on javascript this identifier without any more information

e.g

<div onmouseover="jTip(this,"Help here")>whatever</div>
jTip(obj,text){
        .
        .
        $(obj).bind('mouseout', function() {
                enabletip=false;
                $("#"+theobj.id).unbind('mouseout');
        });
}

the following do fine if i have an id on the tag
<div id="div1" onmouseover="jTip(this,"Help here")>whatever</div>
jTip(obj,text){
        .
        .
        $('#'+obj.id).bind('mouseout', function() {
                 enabletip=false;
                $("#"+theobj.id).unbind('mouseout');
        });
}
