to apply it to a specific id, you need to just mention the id in the selector.
eg.) $('#testid') in DOM it is important that the ID is unique, if you do have multiple nodes with same ids, which is a violation of HTML, the ID selector will always return the first node with that ID. For a class you can supply the class as well directly. eg.) $('.className') Although for classes you, if you may, specify some hierarchy of elements or classes by separating them using spaces as you mentioned within your example eg) $('.test ul li a') the above selector will select anchor nodes (a), which are children (not necessarily direct children) of li elements which inturn are children of ul eliments which are children of an element with className as test.
