title: Working with child elements in jQuery
body: <p>I have the following HTML:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="outer"&gt;
      &lt;div class="inner"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class="inner"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why does this work?:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(".inner").css("height", 10);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this doesn't:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(".outer").children().css("height", 10);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>Just to be clear, the above DOES work.  See answer below.</p>
