Finding Descendant Elements
$("table").find("span") //selects all <span> elements contained //somewhere in <table> elements $("#myForm").find("input") //selects all <input> elements contained //somewhere in element #myForm
The .find(filter) method returns a jQuery object representing descendants of the current set that match the filter supplied. The filter can be a selector, a jQuery object to match elements against, or an element tag name.
