How can I select item with class within a DIV?

Question

I have the following HTML:

Answer 1

If you want to select every element that has class attribute "myclass" use

$('#mydiv .myclass');

If you want to select only div elements that has class attribute "myclass" use

$("div#mydiv div.myclass");

find more about jquery selectors refer these articles

Answer 2

You'll do it the same way you would apply a css selector. For instanse you can do

$("#mydiv > .myclass")

or

$("#mydiv .myclass")

The last one will match every myclass inside myDiv, including myclass inside myclass.

Answer 3

try this instead $(".video-divs.focused"). This works if you are looking for video-divs that are focused.

Answer 4

Try:

$('#mydiv').find('.myclass');

JS Fiddle demo.

Or:

$('.myclass','#mydiv');

JS Fiddle demo.

Or:

$('#mydiv .myclass');

JS Fiddle demo.

References:

• find().
• Selector context.

Good to learn from the find() documentation:

The .find() and .children() methods are similar, except that the latter only travels a single level down the DOM tree.

Answer 5

Try this

$("#mydiv div.myclass")
