title: this to that via function?
body: <p>I have the following script:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#element_1').live('click', function() {
      function_1(this)
  });
  
  function function_1(that) {
      that = that.attr("id").split('_');
  
      alert(that[0]);
      alert(that[1]);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am trying to split the id attribute of "this", but I get an error:</p>
  
  <p>Object does not support this property or method.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I do the same thing directly in the click event e.g.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#element_1').live('click', function() {
      var that = $(this).attr("id").split('_');
  
      alert(that[0]);
      alert(that[1]);
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I get the top version of the script to work?</p>
