Question

I am trying to select a table inside a form. Here is my html:

<div id="switcher-panel">
  <form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="user/1/advancement" method="post">
    <table class="table table-hover">
      <thead>...<thead>
      <tbody>...</tbody>
    </table>
  </form>
</div>

I can easily select the div “switcher-panel” with $('#switcher-panel'), but when I try to drill down to the table through the form with $('#switcher-panel' 'form') I get an Unexpected String error with a type of unexpected_token_string. I thought I had a pretty decent grasp on Jquery, but I am at a lost here. Is there a way to pass through the form or select the form that I am missing?

Answer 1

Use this:

$("#switcher-panel form")

or this:

$("#switcher-panel").find("form");

Otherwise, it is invalid JavaScript code.
