JQuery $(this) selector function and limitations

Question

I need help understanding $(this). Is it possible to narrow the focus of \'this\' within the parentheses or does \"this\" preclude the use of any other attributes?

Answer 1

Use .find()

$( this ).find( 'div' )

Or use the context parameter to jQuery( selector, context ) (internally, it just calls find anyway...)

$( 'div', this )
