and would like to use a jQuery selector to selec

Answer 1

You can use Child Selecor to reference the child elements available within the parent.

$(' > img', this).attr("src");

And the below is if you don't have reference to $(this) and you want to reference img available within a div from other function.

 $('#divid > img').attr("src");

Answer 2

Also this should work:

$("#id img")

Answer 3

If your img is exactly first element inside div then try

$(this.firstChild);

$( "#box" ).click( function() {
  let img = $(this.firstChild);
  console.log({img});
})

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id="box"><img src="https://picsum.photos/seed/picsum/300/150"></div>

Answer 4

You could use

    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js">
 $(this).find('img');
</script>

Answer 5

The direct children is

$('> .child-class', this)

Answer 6

Here's a functional code, you can run it (it's a simple demonstration).

When you click the DIV you get the image from some different methods, in this situation "this" is the DIV.

$(document).ready(function() {
  // When you click the DIV, you take it with "this"
  $('#my_div').click(function() {
    console.info('Initializing the tests..');
    console.log('Method #1: '+$(this).children('img'));
    console.log('Method #2: '+$(this).find('img'));
    // Here, i'm selecting the first ocorrence of <IMG>
    console.log('Method #3: '+$(this).find('img:eq(0)'));
  });
});

.the_div{
  background-color: yellow;
  width: 100%;
  height: 200px;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<div id="my_div" class="the_div">
  <img src="...">
</div>

Hope it helps!
