Is there a cheap method to select the deepest child of an element ?
Example:
<div id="SearchHere">
<div>
<div>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div id="selectThis"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>
This will find the deepest element of type "param" on the page. Useful if you are looking for the deepest , or whatever.
function deepest_child(param) {
var element_list = $(param)
var depth = 0
var deepest_element
element_list.each(
function (index) {
this_depth = $(this).parents().length
if (this_depth > depth) {
depth = this_depth
deepest_element= $(this)
}
})
return deepest_element
}
