Question

I have the following code with the intention of locating values from within a targeted div as follows:

$('#combineDiv').children().each(function(){
      if ($(this + ":first-child").attr('class') == 'combinedColumn') {
          alert('found ONE!');
     }
 });

I have a hidden input in some of the divs within the children of the div ‘#combineDiv’… but, I dont know how to combine the ‘THIS’ keyword with the appropriate selector… 🙁

remember this is going to return an object from the DOM, so $(this + ":first-child") probably isn’t going to give you what you want (it’ll probably return something like [object Object]:first-child.

Instead try accessing the ID, or whatever it is you’re after, off of that this object

$(this.ID + “:first-child”).attr(‘class’)
