Solución
Basically e.target will be a javascript object, you have to convert it into a Jquery object before utilizing its functions like .addClass()
Try,
$(e.target).addClass("big");
and at the same time, $("this").addClass("big"); this code will not work since you are passing this as a string. this also a javascript object, you need to convert that too as a jquery object like $(this)
Otros consejos
You have two problem:
$(this).addClass("big"); //Unquote to "this"
$(e.target).addClass("big"); // select e.target with $() wrapper.
Change this line
$("this").addClass("big"); //This doesn't work
to
$(this).addClass("big"); //This will work work
And further if you need it with the event itself then you can use
$(e.target).addClass('big');
Since .addClass() is a jQuery method, you need a jQuery object, so convert e.target to jQuery object by wrapping it inside $:
$(e.target).addClass("big");
Beside that, the other solution is to use $(this). you don't need to wrap this inside " ":
$(this).addClass("big");
<script>
$(function() {
$("p").click(function(e) {
$("a").removeClass("big").addClass("small");
$(this).addClass("big"); //This doesn't work
});
});
</script>
"this"=>this
e.currentTarget.classList.add("loading_arrow");
you can use above line to add loading_arrow class using js mouse event.
