how to limit the jquery search scope

Question

It looks like `JQuery` does the search in the current `document` when using a selector. How to search for an element only inside a `div` element?

Accepted Answer

jQuery selectors work very much like CSS selectors, which you may be more familiar with.

First, select the div, and then descend from that:

```
$('#my-div').find('some-selector').
```

or build your selector to match children of the element in question:

```
$('#my-div some-selector')
```
