Question

I’m trying to “select” a img inside a $(this) selector. I know I can find it by using .find('img') but is this possible:

$("img",this) ?

What’s the most optimal way to do this?

Originally code

<a class="picture" href="test.html">
    <img src="picture.jpg" alt="awesome">
</a>

What’s the most optimal way to do this?

Both $(this).find('img') and $('img', this) are equivalent.

From the docs:

Internally, selector context is implemented with the .find() method,
so $(‘span’, this) is equivalent to $(this).find(‘span’).
