How can I use find with each element in jQuery?

I want to get all table elements then search for elements in each table.

  var tbody = $('table')
  tbody.each(function(table) {
      var elementsArray = table.find('sometext"'); // doesn't work

  })

Here it says

Uncaught TypeError: table.find is not a function

How can I use find like this?

Solution

  • .find is a jquery method so you have to use it for a jquery selector like $(selector).find and also you have a syntax error in .find('sometext"') you have to change it like .find('sometext')

    var tbody = $('table')
  tbody.each(function(index, table) {
      var elementsArray = $(table).find('sometext'); // should work

  })
