simple Jquery variable issue

Question

I am trying to concatenate my div to images within it using jquery variable. Not sure how to do this. Thanks for any helps.

var pictureDiv = $('#pictureDiv');

pictureDiv.css('height','500');

//I want to change image within my pictureDiv and 
//want to use my pictureDiv variable..
pictureDiv.img??

//I also want to change p tag within my pictureDiv and
// want to use my pictureDiv variable..
pictureDiv.p??

You're looking for .find(), as in pictureDiv.find('img') or whatever. — Pointy

If the picture div has <p> tags in it, is it the actual image or a container that contains both <p> tags and <img> tags? If it's a container, use the .find() function like this:

pictureDiv.find('img').attr('src',SomeValue);
pictureDiv.find('p')....

if you have p tag and img tag in pictureDiv

var pictureDiv = $('#pictureDiv');

pictureDiv.css('height','500');

$("img",pictureDiv).attr("src","image path");

$("p",pictureDiv).html("insert text into p tag");

jQuery('#pictureDiv').find("img"); jQuery('#pictureDiv').find("p");

This should get you the list of images.

That is if I understood the question correctly.
