Select current element in jQuery

Question

I have HTML code like this :

       Link A1
       Link A2
       Link A3


         


        

Answer 1

I think by combining .children() with $(this) will return the children of the selected item only

consider the following:

$("div li").click(function() {
$(this).children().css('background','red');
});

this will change the background of the clicked li only
