jQuery: question about children() function

Question

hi,

how can I avoid this in jQuery:

$(this).parents(".node-inner").children().children().children();

I tried:

$(this).parents(".node-inner").children(".className");

but it doesn't work.

thanks

You can use the find() function to search through the entire DOM subtree:

$(this).parents(".node-inner").find(".className");
