<p class="desc"><strong>Description: </strong>Selects all direct child elements specified by "child" of elements specified by "parent".</p>
<div class="longdesc">
<p>As a CSS selector, the child combinator is supported by all modern web browsers including Safari, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Internet Explorer 7 and above, but notably not by Internet Explorer versions 6 and below. However, in jQuery, this selector (along with all others) works across all supported browsers, including IE6.</p>
<p>The child combinator (E <strong>></strong> F) can be thought of as a more specific form of the descendant combinator (E F) in that it selects only first-level descendants.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Note: </strong>The <code>$("> elem", context)</code> selector will be deprecated in a future release. Its usage is thus discouraged in lieu of using alternative selectors.</p></blockquote>
