I hope to implement an singleton to replace the usage of $(this); following is my code snippet

2.             jQuery.single = (function (element) {
3.                 var collection = jQuery([1]);
4.                 return function (element) {
5.                     collection[0] = element;
6.                     return collection;
7. 
   
8.                 };
9.             });
10. 
    
11.             $('#btnTestSingle').bind('click', function () {
12.                 var html = jQuery.single(this).next().html();
13.                 console.log(html);
14.                 return false;
15.             });

however the error message show the next() is not a function.

Is there any instruction can help to fix that, thanks a lot.
