I have a div #popup that is dynamically filled with several paragraphs with the class .filled-text. I\'m trying to get jQuery to tell me if #
#popup
.filled-text
#
If it's a direct child you can do as below if it could be nested deeper remove the >
$("#text-field").keydown(function(event) { if($('#popup>p.filled-text').length !== 0) { console.log("Found"); } });
