[jQuery] How does this find the first child?

[jQuery] How does this find the first child?


I'm working my way through understanding the Master/Detail, AJAX
enabled, accordion style control presented here:
http://mosesofegypt.net/post/2008/04/GridView-Grouping-Master-Detail-Drill-Down-Using-jQuery-AJAX.aspx
The following code has me confused (I've only included a couple lines
of the function):
function showhide(master,detail,customerId)
{
//First child of master div is the image
var src = $(master).children()[0].src;
master is a div passed into the function that contains an <img> and a
<span> element. This line:
var src = $(master).children()[0].src;
returns a jQuery to the img element. I'm trying to figure out how. I
understand that $(master).children() will return a jQuery object
containing the children of the master div (the <img> and <span>). I
can even understand that the [0] probably refers to the first element
in the jQuery object. I don't get the final ".src". What's that all
about?
Thanks very much,
BK
