[jQuery] any way to combine this with additional selectors?


hi i have the following problem: is there any way to combine "this" in
a selector like $(this) with additional selectors like $(this+
"span.hello") ?
i tried this for a time but i everytime get an error. the only way i
see is: $("#"+$(this).attr("id")+ " span.hello")
is this the common way ?
thanks for your answers
