If I select elements to enable jQuery plugins like 

$(".clickaway").clickaway();

Can I somehow get the selector .clickaway that was used in the plugin?

I'm sure you would have noticed it digging into the object using Firebug, but just the .selector property of the jQuery object.

    Note: The `.selector` property was deprecated in jQuery 1.7 and **removed in jQuery 1.9**. – acdcjunior Jul 11 '13 at 17:38
  • Please have a look at my answer to a similar question... https://stackoverflow.com/a/46165306/2358222 This is a solution I came up with after loads of digging around on the web and in chrome's console. – Studocwho Sep 11 '17 at 22:46

try:

$(".clickaway").clickaway().end()....

  • Actually I want the selector string ".clickaway" that I can use within my plugin `(function($) { $.fn.clickaway = function() { // I want to use that string here } })(jQuery)` – Jiew Meng Jan 13 '11 at 07:11
  • sorry - misunderstood your question. Agent_9191 seems to have nailed it :) – simon Jan 13 '11 at 09:32
