How to Select a Class's Children

How to Select a Class's Children

How can i select all elements within a class using jquery?

for example:
<li id="itemSlide_'.$item['id'].'">
    <a> a tag</a>
    <div>div tag</div>
    <img src="imgtag" />
</li>

i want to display an img when one hovers over the <li> tag

$('[id^=itemSlide_]').hover(function(){
   //display something
});

and i want to remove it when the users mouses out
$('[id^=itemSlide_]').mouseout(function(){
   //remove display
});  

however every child element of itemSlide_ triggers the mouseout event.

Is there a way around this?

If anyone needs better clarification, just ask.

Looking forward to your help,
