I have a div element with several elements inside it like buttons and so forth which have event handlers attached to them. I know its possible to go:
$(\"#bu
Try with
$("#div1 >* ").off();
Or:
$("#div1").find('button').off();
if you're talking about <button>
elements
jQuery will do the looping for you for just the direct children:
$("#div1").children().off();
or if you want all descendants:
$("#div1").find("*").off();
Does this help:
$("#div1").find('*').off();
