Question

I want to check if a “particular” class is applied to a span inside a div or not.So i tried

$('#div').click(function() {
     console.log($(this).find('.myImgClass').length);  // returns 0-if not found
                                                      // 1 if found
}

HTMl

<div>
 <span class="myImgClass"></span>
</div>

Is this the right way to do it ?

Answer 1

This should do the trick,

$('div').click(function() {
  alert("Spans with .myImgClass: " + $(this).children('span.myImgClass').length);
});

Example on JSFiddle.net

If you only need divs with the class then:

$('div > span.myImgClass').click(function() {
  var theSpan = $(this);
  var theDiv = theSpan.parent();
  alert("Div with Span with .myImgClass.");
});
