jQuery selector inside the each() method

Question

Lets say that I have a HTML that looks like this: ```

1

2

3

4

``` With `$('.aaa span')` I can select all span elements. With `$('.aaa').each()` I can iterate over the div elements. My question is how to select the span in each div from inside the each function like: ``` $('.aaa').each(function(index, obj){ x = selector_based_on_obj // x equal to the current div`s span }) ```

Accepted Answer

easiest way is this, if you want all the elements

```
$('.aaa span');
```

jquery can nest selectors just like css can. also, if for some reason you need to loop

```
$('.aaa').each(function(){
    x = $(this).find('span');
});
```

that will set x as the elements as a jquery object.
