jQuery: Selecting an element in inside an already selected element

Question

For example:

$("table tr").click( function(event)
{
   //Say, here i want get the data of td element where its class name="special"
});

Is there any way I can select a element while in the click event, a element under the attached element above ( $("table tr") )?

Answer 1

Something like

$(this).find(".special").html();

I think that that works

Answer 2

In this specific case, you can do this:

$("table tr").click( function(event)
{
   $(this).children('td.special').whatEverYouNeed();
});

Generally speaking, you need to use find():

$("table tr").click( function(event)
{
   $(this).find('td.special').whatEverYouNeed();
});
