check value of $(this.el) in backbone

[rudy_ub]

I'm just getting started with backbone, javascript, jquery and the like. I'm looking at a backbone view that from this post, Backbone.js View can't unbind events properly, it seems like I need to undelegate my event. My event is tied to an element with id #createBtn. So I tried this:\[code\]$(this.el).undelegate('#createBtn', 'click');\[/code\]When my backbone view gets initialized, this event gets registered with:\[code\]events: { "click #createBtn": "createNewTemplate",\[/code\]I still see my button doing its normal thing. I am guessing my undelegate is not working somehow and wanted a way to investigate what $(this.el) is really pointing at. The whole JS \[code\]this\[/code\] and everything is still confusing to me. So I'm not sure if $(this.el) will even work in the method I am trying to, or if I need to be doing something else. Any debugging hints of how $(this.el) is treated, or how I can look at that object would be super helpful. Thanks!
