jquery - Is there an equivalent to .closest() that searches down the DOM tree instead of up?

Question

Is there an equivalent to .closest() that searches down the DOM tree instead of up?

Answer 1

The closest method does actually search down the tree (despite what the documentation says), but I know what you mean. You want one that searches among the children of the element. Depending on how you want to search:

$('#Id').children('div');

or

$('#Id').find('div');
