The jQuery constructor accepts a 2nd parameter called context which can be used to override the context of the selection    jQuery  img   this     Which is the same as using  find   like this   jQuery this  find  img      If the imgs you desire are only direct descendants of the clicked element  you can also use  children     jQuery this  children  img

You could also use    this  find  img      which would return all imgs that are descendants of the div

You can find all img element of parent div like below    this  find  img   or   this  children  img     If you want specific img element you can write like this    this  children  img nth n         where n is the child place in parent list start from 0 onwards   Your div contain only one img element  So for this below is right     this  find  img   attr  alt                     OR     this  children  img   attr  alt     But if your div contain more img element like below    lt div class  mydiv  gt       lt img src  test png  alt  3  gt       lt img src  test png  alt  4  gt   lt  div gt    then you can t use upper code to find alt value of second img element  So you can try this      this  find  img last-child   attr  alt                      OR    this  children  img last-child   attr  alt     This example shows a general idea that how you can find actual object within parent object  You can use classes to differentiate your child object  That is easy and fun  i e    lt div class  mydiv  gt       lt img class  first  src  test png  alt  3  gt       lt img class  second  src  test png  alt  4  gt   lt  div gt    You can do this as below       this  find   first   attr  alt     and more specific as      this  find  img first   attr  alt     You can use find or children as above code  For more visit Children http   api jquery com children  and Find http   api jquery com find    See example http   jsfiddle net lalitjs Nx8a6
