jQuery: Direct child of $(this)

Question

Is it possible to, somehow, select a direct child of $(this)?

I have:

var obj = $(this);  
$(\"ul\", obj).css(\'width\',s*w);

And need

Answer 1

Try the following:

$(this).find("> ul")

Answer 2

$(this).children('ul') returns a list of direct children.

Answer 3

The jQuery constructor can take a second parameter which can is used to override the context of the selection.

$("ul", this);

And if you just want the first I think you could do

$("ul:first", this)

Answer 4

this may work too (depends on what exact situation are you in maybe)

$(this).find('>*:eq(0)')

Answer 5

This works for me ;)

$('> ul',this)
