A d3.select… equivalent to jQuery.children()

Question

I\'m using d3 to append some elements on enter() and then update them later. However, the next time i try to select those elements the selection is much larger than the orig

Answer 1

Here is a much better way to do it:

var parent = d3.selectAll(".myParentClass");
parent.each(function(d,i) {            
   var children = d3.selectAll(this.childNodes);
   console.log(children);
});

This way you don't need to unnecessarily add classes to what could be 100's of (or even more) child nodes.
