Question

I use the following expression to select all the links in this ‘path’:

$J('#leftmenu li div a') 

The problem is that inside i can have the following hierarchy:

<ul id='lefmenu'> <li><div><a href='#'>foo</a> <ul><li><div><a href='#'>subfoo</a> </li>/ul> </li> </ul> 

Using this expression this selects foo and subfoo.

I would like the way to select only foo, that is to say the exact path I write in my expression, right now this is selecting all the ‘li div a’, inside the list, that is why it selects foo and subfoo.

Answer 1

Use

$J('#leftmenu > li > div > a') 

This will select only immediate children
