Hi Eridius, yes, "this" refers to the object passed to the plugin, in your case
$('#hover_menu').hover_menu();
which would be shorter than
$('div[id=hover_menu]').hover_menu()
(function($)
{
$.fn.hover_menu = function(){
$(this).children('ul').children('li').hide();
};
})( jQuery );
I assume that in your div you have an unordered list, so with this
code you would traverse to any <li> tags in any unordered list within
your div.
Does that help?
Bernd
