jQuery: Selecting an element in inside an already selected element

For example:

$("table tr").click( function(event)
{
   //Say, here i want get the data of td element where its class name="special"
});

Is there any way I can select a element while in the click event, a element under the attached element above ( $("table tr") )?

From stackoverflow

• Something like

  $(this).find(".special").html();
  

  I think that that works

  Saneef : Thanks man! It worked! :)

• In this specific case, you can do this:

  $("table tr").click( function(event)
  {
     $(this).children('td.special').whatEverYouNeed();
  });
  

  Generally speaking, you need to use find():

  $("table tr").click( function(event)
  {
     $(this).find('td.special').whatEverYouNeed();
  });
  

  Jimbo : You can also use `$('td.special', this)` - that will limit the scope of the selector to the container `this`
