Passing jQuery object property to function

    new $.Feed({
        container: "#us-feed",
        feedUrl: "http://www.somefeed.com/feed/",
        onFeedLoad: function(feedResult) {
            formatFeed(feedResult);
        }

Pretty basic syntax question: what is the syntax to pass the container property to the formatFeed function for use as a variable?

You can reference the current object with this:

new $.Feed({
    container: "#us-feed",
    feedUrl: "http://www.somefeed.com/feed/",
    onFeedLoad: function(feedResult) {
        formatFeed(feedResult, this.container);
    }
});

As mentioned in the comments, that depends a lot on where and how onFeedLoad is being called. If you want a safe solution just store the container text in a temporary variable as mcos already suggested:

var container = "#us-feed";
new $.Feed({
    container: container,
    feedUrl: "http://www.somefeed.com/feed/",
    onFeedLoad: function(feedResult) {
        formatFeed(feedResult, container);
    }
});
