jquery apply context menu on all children

Question

I am using a jquery context menu plugin (http://www.trendskitchens.co.nz/jquery/contextmenu/) which works fine but I want to work for all children of a selector currently I have the below but it only applies to divs with class area and I need it to apply on div's with class area and all its children.

$('#container-area .area').contextMenu()

Any ideas on wildcard jquery selectors tried * with no luck

Answer 1

This should work, using .andSelf() (documentation):

$('#container-area .area').children("div").andSelf().contextMenu();

Answer 2

$('#container-area .area').contextMenu().find('*').contextMenu()
