Question

Using jQuery, I can find table row in the following ways.

Which one is faster? Or is there not much difference?

$('myTable').find('tr')

or

$('myTable tr')

Answer 1

It’s really personal preference. There is no real advantage from a coding perspective. According to jQuery’s .find() docs:

Selector context is implemented with the .find() method; therefore,
$(‘li.item-ii’).find(‘li’) is equivalent to $(‘li’, ‘li.item-ii’).

Personal opinion: Since $('myTable tr') is more concise and still very readable, it’s my preference.
