Hi guys, here is my case: I have a JQuery object named ObjectMaster representing html contents, inside this object there is a TD with id=FirstName that I want to populate its text, is there a way to reach FirstName tag from its parent (ObjectMaster) WITHOUT using:
$(ObjectMaster).find('#FirstName').text("new text") Someone might say why not populating FirstName directly? I can't do that since I have other "ObjectMaster"s containing identical TD with the same FirstName id, so I have to reach each TD through its parent, otherwise I would be populating the wrong TD's. The problem with the Find function is that its remarkably slow when populating hundreds of TD's so I'm trying to do something like: $(ObjectMaster +' '+ '#FirstName').text('new text') Or $('#'+ObjectMaster.id +' '+ '#FirstName').text('new text') But its not working. So mainly my problem is trying to use a combined selector of an object and a child tag name. Is this doable? If not, is there any lightweight solution to this scenario? Many thanks and appreciate your help. Maya.
