jQuery code to show the working of andSelf( ) method:




<html>
  
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" 
    </script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("div").find("p").andSelf().addClass("border");
        });
    </script>
    <style>
        p,
        div {
            margin: 5px;
            padding: 5px;
        }
          
        .border {
            border: 2px solid green;
        }
          
        .background {
            background: green;
        }
    </style>
</head>
  
<body>
    <div>
        <p>This is first paragraph.</p>
        <p>This is second paragraph.</p>
    </div>
</body>
  
</html>
