title: Recursively disabling all children of an element
body: <p>This might be a yes/no type of question.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to disable absolutely all children of an element in jquery.</p>
  
  <p>Does calling</p>
  
  <pre><code>$('#id_of_an_element').children().do(function(){
      do_something;
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>recursively call all children of an element, or does it just <code>do_something</code> to all the direct descendants of <code>an_element</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Help is appreciated,</p>
