    As others have said – this doesn’t look like valid HTML – I’m going to assume that you just gave that as an example as this technique can be used to find any type of element.

    This should do the trick to locate the body tag – 

    $('div.wrapper').find('body')

    When you don’t specify in your selector that you are talking about a class . or id # attribute – the whole string will be matched to the type of element.

    The same could be done for –

    • <img> tags –
      $('div.wrapper').find('img')
    • <a> tags –
      $('div.wrapper').find('a')
    • <span> tags –
      $('div.wrapper').find('span')
    • etc…
