jQuery: How to get to a particular child of a parent?

Question

To give a simplified example, I\'ve got the following block repeated on the page lots of times (it\'s dynamically generated):

   &l         


        
      

Answer 1

This will find the first parent with class box then find the first child class with regex matching something and get the id.

$(".mylink").closest(".box").find('[class*="something"]').first().attr("id")
