Personally, I'd use:
jQuery.fn.hover_menu = function(offset, speed){
this.find('<li>').each(function(){ // 'this' is already a jQuery object
(the one you attach the plugin to)
var current_margin = $(this).css('marginLeft'); // 'this' needs to
be wrapped in a new jQuery object
});
Note which of the 'this' instances here are wrapped in $() and which are
not. The first one is not as it is already a reference to the jQuery object
that you will attach the plugin to. The one within each() is wrapped in a
new jQuery object because otherwise it is just a regular li DOM element.
Also, to get all the li elements within the initial object, I used find()
instead of children(). I'm a bit foggy on what the difference is at the
moment, but find works me.
