What about $('#context .target')
Or $('#context div') Allex -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jesse Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 12:37 PM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Standard DOM returned from jQuery selector I have a feeling I'm just missing something in the documentation, but is there anyway to get a standard DOM object to return from a jquery selector? <div id="context"> <div class="target"></div> </div> Essentially I want a way for $('.target', '#context') to give me the equivalent of document.getElementById('context').getElementsByTagName('div')[0]
