How do I iterate through children elements of a div using jQuery?

Question

I have a div and it has several input elements in it... I\'d like to iterate through each of those elements. Ideas?

Answer 1

It is also possible to iterate through all elements within a specific context, no mattter how deeply nested they are:

$('input', $('#mydiv')).each(function () {
    console.log($(this)); //log every element found to console output
});

The second parameter $('#mydiv') which is passed to the jQuery 'input' Selector is the context. In this case the each() clause will iterate through all input elements within the #mydiv container, even if they are not direct children of #mydiv.
