My problem is quite simple. What I want to do in jquery is something like this:

$(this > ".otherDiv").show();

But it doesn’t work and I have no idea why. I also tried:

$(this).$(".otherDiv").show();
$(this + ".otherDiv").show();
$(this ".otherDiv").show();
$(this.".otherDiv").show();

It works when I replace this with something else. And I tested and this is really the parent div I want. Is there something i’m doing wrong?

Thx!

    This is the correct form:

    $(this).children('.otherDiv').show();
