Question

HI I have following problem, i have a ul list like this one

<ul class="ul">
    <li id="li1">
        <span class="widget">
            <input name='try1' value="try1" class="param" />
        </span>
        <ul>
            <li class="li2">
                <span class="widget">
                    <input name='try1' value="try1" class="param" />
                    <input name='try2' value="try2" class="param" />
                </span>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
<li id="2"></li>
</ul>

my problem is when i try to get inputs in this way

$('#li1 .param').each(function(){
        alert($(this).attr('name'));
    });

each returns to me
try1
try1
try2
But i need only these ones between span if someone knows how to get them?
Thank you in advance !

Answer 1

Hard to understand, but I assume you mean that you only want the ones that descend from the child <span> element instead of all <span> elements.

If so, do this:

$('#li1 > span .param').each(function(){
    alert($(this).attr('name'));
});

This uses the the child-selector^(docs) to target .param elements that descend from a <span> element that is a child of #li1.
