jquery - Find an element by class name, from a known parent element -


I have to find an element by the class name. I know that it will appear in a particular parent device, instead of searching the entire dom, I just want to find a specific device. I'm trying it, but it does not seem to be the right syntax:

 < Code> var element = $ ("# parentDiv"). ("MyClassNameOfInterest");  

What is the correct way to do this?

Thank you

You were close to you:

  var element = $ ("# parentDiv"). Find ("MyClassNameOfInterest");  
  • .find () -

Alternatively, you can:

  var element = $ (". MyClassNameOfInterest", "#parentDiv");   

... that sets the context of the jQuery object's #parentDiv .

Edit:

Additionally, if you select div.myClassNameOfInterest instead of just .myclassNameOfInterest , Then it may be faster in some browsers.
