finding a span nested inside another span?
in Using jQuery
•

If you have span within another span, jQuery selector seems to be unable to find it.
example:
- <span>
- <span class="paginate_active">1</span>
- <span class="paginate_button">2</span>
- <span class="paginate_button">3</span>
- <span class="paginate_button">4</span>
- <span class="paginate_button">5</span>
- </span>
If I do this after the above:
- $("body").find("span").css("border","3px solid red");
Then it will only draw a border around the outer span, like this:
If give the outer span an Id and do replace body with #idofspan it doesn't make any difference either, it won't find spans inside.
Any idea whether this is a limitation/bug or am I doing something wrong?
