[jQuery] Query from an already-found node
I am a mostly-jQuery, sometimes Dojo user. I just came off a Dojo
contract and one thing I ended up using a lot was Dojo's ability to do
a query starting at a given node (subtree) of the DOM.
Now I'm on a jQuery project and I find that I don't know how to do
that in jQuery. Suppose I have done a query, gotten back, say, 8
nodes. After some processing I know that I want to do another query
off a certain one of those nodes. In Dojo, I supply another argument
which makes Dojo Query from that node instead of the whole document.
Is there a way in jQuery?
Suppose I've done this: nodes=$(".monkeys") and I want to do a $
(".howler") off of just nodes[3] (or $(".monkeys")[3]).
Seems simple, but the solution eludes me.
