Document Object Model(DOM) is a World Wide Web Consortium standard. This defines for accessing elements in the DOM tree.
Syntax:

andSelf( )(selector);

Parameters: It does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: It returns all added element against the specified selector.
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>


Here border would be added to previous selection which is a division and then second selection which is paragraphs.
