There are lots of javascript libraries like – anime.js, screenfull.js, moment.js, etc. JQuery is also a part of javascript libraries. It is used to simplify the code. It is a lightweight and feature-rich library.
In this article, we will learn how to find all children with a specified class of each division.
.children(selector) – In jquery you can achieve this task by using the method named .children(). It takes the selector as a parameter and changes the children element with the specified name.
Example 1:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</script>
<style>
body {
font-size: 20px;
font-style: italic;
background-color: green;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<h1 class="child">
GeeksForGeeks
</h1>
<span>
This is a span in div element.
(children but not specified)
</span>
<p class="child">
This is a paragraph with specified
class in a div element.
</p>
<div class="child">
This is inner div with specified
class in a div element.
</div>
<p>
This is another paragraph in div
element.(children but not specified)
</p>
</div>
<script>
$("div").children(".child").css({
"background-color": "lightgreen",
"border-style": "inset"
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
|
Output:
Explanation: The div element has 5 children ( 1 heading, 1 span, 1 inner div, and 3 paragraphs). In the code, we have specified three-element with class=”child” i.e. two paragraphs and one div. You can notice that only specified elements get affected and change their style property.
Example 2:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src=
</script>
<style>
body {
font-size: 20px;
font-style: italic;
background-color: green;
text-align: center;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<h1>GeeksForGeeks</h1>
<p>
class with prime will only
get different style property
</p>
<p>'1' is not a prime number.</p>
<p class="prime">'2' is a prime number.</p>
<div class="prime">'3' is a prime number.</div>
<p>'4' is not a prime number.</p>
<p class="prime">'5' is a prime number</p>
</div>
<script>
$("div").children(".prime").css({
"background-color": "lightgreen",
"border-style": "inset"
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
