Is it possible to specify that jquery only searches within a particular div on the page?
<p><strong>In the selector syntax of jqeury $('.string') is it possible to specify that the search is performed only within a particular div or element on the page?</strong> I ask because I am using a web application framework which has a bug, namley producing container elements with the same id so when i search by id to find the container programmatically, it returns the first container out of the many containers with the same id. But the container I want always has a unique class attibute. <strong>So if I could select that container and tell jquery to perform it's queries within that container I would have a solution. Is this possible?</strong></p>

<p>Apologies if a basic question.</p>
