How do I select item with class within a DIV in JQ

Question

I have the following HTML:

<div id="mydiv"><div class="myclass"></div></div>

I want to be able to use a selector that selects the inside div, but specific for the "mydiv" container. How can I achieve this with JQuery?

Answer 1

try this instead $(".video-divs.focused"). This works if you are looking for video-divs that are focused.

Answer 2

More efficient and faster one is...

$('#mydiv').find('.myclass').html('<span>Hello World</span>');

Answer 3

You'll do it the same way you would apply a css selector. For instanse you can do

$("#mydiv > .myclass")

or

$("#mydiv .myclass")

The last one will match every myclass inside myDiv, including myclass inside myclass.

Answer 4

Try this

$("#mydiv div.myclass")

Answer 5

Try:

$('#mydiv').find('.myclass');

Or:

$('.myclass','#mydiv');

Or:

$('#mydiv .myclass');

References:

• find().
• Selector context.

Answer 6

If you want to select every element that has class attribute "myclass" use

$('#mydiv .myclass');

If you want to select only div elements that has class attribute "myclass" use

$("div#mydiv div.myclass");
