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.
