Passing $(this) in setTimeout

Question

How do I pass $(this) as a parameter in the setTimeout function (method?)? Here's what I'm doing so far, which is working:

var Variables = {};
Variables.ResizeTimer = false;
Variables.$obj = null;

$('.draggable').resize(function() {
    if (Variables.ResizeTimer !== false) { 
        clearTimeout(Variables.ResizeTimer);
    }
    Variables.$obj = $(this);
    Variables.ResizeTimer = setTimeout(mySizer,
        1000
    );
});

Answer 1

Since Variables looks global you can use it inside the mySizer routine. If you don't want to have global variables you can create a closure:

$('.draggable').resize(function() {
    if (Variables.ResizeTimer !== false) { 
        clearTimeout(Variables.ResizeTimer);
    }
    var $this = $(this);
    Variables.ResizeTimer = setTimeout(function() {
        mySizer($this);
    }, 1000);
});
