What is the difference between jQuery's space and > selectors?

Question

What\'s the difference between the space and > selectors? And possibly related, how can I look for something that\'s the direct child of something else, and not lower down the d

In CSS, > means "direct child of": only nodes that are direct children are selected.

While a space means "any descendant of": direct children and children of those children could be selected.

I would wager jQuery uses the same convention.
