Apply jQuery function to one element and *NOT* its descendants
<p>I want to add certain classes to the various levels of my websites nav header. So I'll have something in the end like</p>

<pre><code>$('#navCol &gt; ul &gt; li &gt; ul &gt; li &gt; ul').addClass('lvl2');
    // Each ‘li &gt; ul’ past the first ‘ul’ indicates another sub-level.
</code></pre>

<p>to add the <code>lvl2</code> class to the second level, etc. Having said that, not only does it apply said class to the second level, it also adds it to the other <code>ul</code>s beneath it. Is there a way to specify that I only want to include the element and not its descendants.</p>
