Question

I need to access the div with class formErrorContent inside the div with id emailMsg without putting ID attribute for the inner div. How can I achieve that?

<div id="emailMsg" class="formError" style="opacity: 0.80; margin-top: 0px;display:none;" onclick="this.style.display='none';">
  <div class="formErrorContent">* This field is required<br>
  </div>
</div>

Answer 1

Use the class selector.

$('#emailMsg').find('.formErrorContent');

This could also be written this way;

$('#emailMsg .formErrorContent');

.. depending on which works best for you.

If you can guarantee that .formErrorContent will always be a child, consider using children() and the child selector instead.
