I have a reference to a jquery object with the this variable. I am looking for a way of applying the child selector to the object.
I'm using $(this).find('table > tbody > tr > td'), but what I'm aiming for is something more like $('[Value of $(this) goes here somehow] > table > tbody > tr > td').
I realise that I can do $(this).children('table').children('tbody').children('tr').children('td'), but I was wondering if there was some syntactic sugar I could use here.
