jQuery selector takes a second argument that sets context.
Hold on Cowboy
This blog post is pretty old. Be careful with the information you find in here. It's likely dead, dying, or wildly inaccurate.
I was trying to concatenate a select to the almighty
thisin jQuery, but it just wasn’t working.
I tried $(this + 'input')
Didn’t work, so I thought, maybe I need a space between this and input like so: $(this + ' input')
No go..
Then I ran across this page. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/306583/jquery-this-selector-and-children
Of course StackOverFlow has the answer.
The working result
$('input', this)
Perfect!!!
