$(this) selector and children?

Question

I'd like to use a selector to select the child img of the div I'm clicking on this example:

<div id="..."><img src="..."></div>

To get the div, I've got this selector:

$(this)

How do I get the img with a selector?

Answer 1

It's been some time, but have you tried $(this).children()[0] ?

Answer 2

Without knowing the ID of the DIV I think you could select the IMG like this:

$("#"+$(this).attr("id")+" img:first")

Answer 3

Thanks maxam, I've found it with your start :)

jQuery(this).children("img")

Answer 4

You could also use

$(this).find('img');

which would return all imgs that are descendants of the div

Answer 5

The jQuery constructor accepts a 2nd parameter which can be used to override the context of the selection.

jQuery("img", this);
