Question

How do I select the element with id = datepicker which is nested as shown below?

<div id="section_update">

    <div class="demo">

        <p>Date: <input type="text" id="datepicker"></p>

    </div>

</div>

Please suggest me a way to do this. Thank you.

I think you refer to ‘nested’ because you may have duplicated ids (you shouldn’t, but…)
So, to select it just do:

$("#section_update #datepicker")

This will select the element with id="datepicker" that is inside #section_update

Hope this helps. Cheers
