Syntax Error, unrecognized expression: [object Object]

Syntax Error, unrecognized expression: [object Object]

hi there,

i've got the following code:

  2. $(".serv-wrap").each(function(){
  3.     thisObject = $(this);
  4.     $(thisObject).hoverIntent(function(){
  5.         hElement = $(" h4", thisObject);
  6.         combinedElements = hElement + "," + thisObject;
  7.         $(combinedElements).stop().animate({
  8.          marginTop: "-153"
  9.         },100);
  10.     },function(){
  11.         $(combinedElements).stop().animate({
  12.          marginTop: "0"
  13.         },400);
  14.     });
  15. });
"hElement" is a child of "thisObject" but due to positioning needs to be targeted specifically for the animation...

i get the error message in the subject of this post... 

i've tried all sorts of methods and variations, but the gist of it is that whenever i try to combine both $(this) and "hElement" into one selector statement i get that error message.
