How to find the first direct child element of a div

Question

This should be easy but I am not able to do it.

I have a div element with id \"LeftScrollableDiv\" and I am trying to find the first child element under it:

Answer 1

The following didn't work for me:

$('#LeftScrollableDiv').children().first();

If you find the same, then you can treat the object returned by the children() method like an array.

To get the first element:

$('#LeftScrollableDiv').children()[0]

To get the last element:

$('#LeftScrollableDiv').children()[$('#LeftScrollableDiv').children().length-1]
