Jquery finding firrt element of specific class

Question

I am using jquery to find a first element having a class "error" applied to it using the below code

$('#mainDiv input.error:eq(0)')

But the above one working only for input elements only. How to make this one to work for both input and select elements?

Answer 1

$('#mainDiv .error:eq(0)')

or

$('input.error, select.error', '#mainDiv').first()

if you want to find only input and select objects
