Eg-  how to select child element only

if you want to select child elements only, then you can use direct descendant combinator (>).

Eg – if we want to select all anchor tag element in the following code then we can use li > a selector . it will select all anchor that all children of list items.

<ul id=”tags”>
<li><a href=”www.google.com”> Google </a> <li>
<li><a href=”www.ecomspark.com”>Ecomspark</a></li>
<li><span><a href=”www.blog.ecomspark.com”>Blogs</a></li>
<ul>


jquery code to select all anchor –

$(‘#tags li > a’);

Note – it will select only first 2 p because third p is not direct child of list item. it is child of span.
