Question

Im trying to change the value of an input field inside a div element “Cellbox”
i have tried

$('#CellBox').$(':input').val("Something");
$('#CellBox :input').val("Something");
$('#CellBox:input').val("Something");
$(':input #CellBox').val("Something");

nothing..

Edit:
thanks guys,
it was a mispelling – the most common error…
The

$('#CellBox :input').val("Something");

is correct

Answer 1

Number 2 would have worked as it looks for an element with the id CellBox with a field of type input within it:

$('#CellBox :input').val("Something");

Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/VzsjG/

What was wrong with the others?

Number 1:

$('#CellBox').$(':input').val("Something");

Was a syntax error, just plain wrong – although it was close… if you would have used .find in place of the second $ it would have worked (Eg: http://jsfiddle.net/4s5RJ/)

Number 3:

$('#CellBox:input').val("Something");

This incorrectly looks for an element with the id CellBox which is itself of type input

Number 4:

$(':input #CellBox').val("Something");

This looks for an element of type input with an element inside it with the id CellBox (ie, the wrong way round)
