$('form.formclass').find('li\\/label').each(.... -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of JayStrain Sent: vendredi 14 septembre 2007 11:27 To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Selecting elements using '/' Hi there, I have just started using JQuery. I am wondering what the difference between the two following select statements within the find function: $('form.formclass').find('li/label').each(.... and $('form.formclass').find('li label').each(.... when i use the '/' (as was recommended by the author of this particular script i'm adapting), the label elements are not being found. but when i replace this with a <space>, the labels are found. Any insight into this would be most appreciated! Thanks, Jay. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Selecting-elements-using-%27-%27-tf4441602s15494.html# a12672558 Sent from the JQuery mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
