[jQuery] Using "this" within alsoResize attribute in Resizable

[jQuery] Using "this" within alsoResize attribute in Resizable


I have something that looks like this:
$(this.container).resizable({
    handles : 'w, e',
    alsoResize : 'div.stretchable',
    minWidth : 57,
    containment : 'div.drop_area',
});
But I will have a bunch of these objects so I cannot use unique Ids so
I must stick with classes.
Usually I would simply do $(this div.stretchable) to acquire the
element to alsoResize, but in this instance it only takes a string. I
would like to do something like this:
    alsoResize : this + ' div.stretchable'
but that does not work.
I would really appreciate any ideas. Maybe some way of evaluating the
statement as a string before parsing? This is really making it hard to
do OOP using jQuery!
