Question

I’m trying to use jquery to select a select menu that is under a parent div. I keep getting nothing returned though.

$('#content_container > .vendor_address_select');

what is incorrect here?

Thanks!

Answer 1

$('#content_container .vendor_address_select');

You don’t need to have the greater than sign. This will apply to all the descendants of content_container with the class of vendor_address_select

This method is using jQuery Descendant Selector (“ancestor descendant”). It is referenced here in the docs.

Mad Echet has a great point that > means that .vendor_adress_select is a child of #content_container
