title: jQuery: how to get the whole entire tag-element which was found with a selector?
body: <p>If a am searching for an element, ie. an option in a select box, how to get the whole entire option tag as html?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select name="xy"&gt;
    &lt;option id="xyz" value="abc"&gt;something here&lt;/option&gt;
    some more options
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this is not what i want to get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('select[name="xy"] option[value="abc"]').html()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this only returns me </p>
  
  <pre><code>"something here"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but i want to get the whole tag</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;option id="xyz" value="abc"&gt;something here&lt;/option&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in foreach function this does work pretty fine</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('option[value="abc"]').each(function(){
    console.log(this);
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>returns me my searched</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;option id="xyz" value="abc"&gt;something here&lt;/option&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but a foreach there must not be neccesary, isn't it?</p>
