Jquery Hierarchy Selectors|Child Selector (“parent > child”) |Trickcode

• Hierarchy Selectors are used to finding out an element from a selected element based on ancestor and descendants.
• It's very helpful when finding an element that rotates between the relationship.

Parent to Child

This selector helps to find out which parent element contains a reference of the particular child element.

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('button').click(function () {
        $('div>p').show());
    });
});

In this example show which div parent holds p element that element only shows when the button has to be clicked.

Ancestors and decentands

This selection helps to find out the element which has grandparent, parent, and child relationship.

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('button').click(function () {
        $('div>p>span>b').show());
    });
});

• Here, div is an ancestor,p is a grandparent, span is parent, and b is a child.
• In this selection get the accurate element that is to be nested.

Based on previous and next element

• In this selector helps to find out the element based on the previous and next structures.
• Here, we can see the selection based on siblings and next

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('button').click(function () {
        $('div+p).show());
    });
});   

• It selects which div have the next p. It selects only next not somewhat element.

Illustration

$(document).ready(function () {
  $('button').click(function () {
        $('div~p).show());
    });
}); 

• It helps to find out the siblings.
• This means if a div element has anyone p element it will be preferred. Other elements are not to make an issue.
