1. $(document).ready(function ()
2. {
3.     var clickedObject;
4.     $('.knob').mousedown(function ()
   
5.     {
6.         clickedObject = $(this);
7.     });
8. 
   
9.     $(".knob").mousemove(function (event)
10.     {
11.         if ($(this) == clickedObject)
12.         {
13.             console.log("test");
14.         }
15.     }
16. });

It doesn't work, it doesn't recognise the two objects as being the same. When I log both $(this) object and the clickedObject to the console, they look pretty much exactly the same to me.

Am i missing something obvious here?
