$(this) selector and children?
I have a layout similar to this:
<div id="..."><img src="..."></div>
and would like to use a jQuery selector to select the child img
inside the div
on click.
To get the div
, I've got this selector:
$(this)
How can I get the child img
using a selector?

The jQuery constructor accepts a 2nd parameter called context
which can be used to override the context of the selection.
jQuery("img", this);
Which is the same as using .find()
like this:
jQuery(this).find("img");
If the imgs you desire are only direct descendants of the clicked element, you can also use .children()
:
jQuery(this).children("img");

You could also use
$(this).find('img');
which would return all img
s that are descendants of the div
