In JavaScript, the <code>find()<\/code> method can only be called on an array.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes a callback function, which is a function passed to a method as an argument, to be called later. It finds and returns the first element that satisfied the requirements outlined in the callback function.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jQuery <code>find()<\/code> method is quite different. Like all jQuery methods, it is called on a selector. It searches within that selector and manipulates only the child elements of that selector. This high level of manipulation is useful if you want to change some elements and not others that are contained in the same parent element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using jQuery find()<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We now know jQuery <code>find()<\/code> is used to select all child elements of a given selector. Take a look at some example code to see how to use jQuery <code>find()<\/code>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start simple and add some complexity in further sections. We can manipulate an element after the page loads to illustrate how <code>find()<\/code> works. How about we change the color of some words in the context of a paragraph once the page loads? We\u2019ll start here:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;script src=&quot;https:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/libs\/jquery\/3.5.1\/jquery.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;\/script&gt;\n&lt;div id=&quot;main&quot;&gt;\n&lt;h2&gt;\njQuery find() method example\n&lt;\/h2&gt;\n  &lt;p&gt;\n  This is an example paragraph. \n  &lt;\/p&gt;\n  &lt;p&gt;We are going to change the color &lt;span&gt;blue&lt;\/span&gt; to the color blue.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;div class=&quot;green&quot;&gt;We are going to change the word &lt;span&gt;green&lt;\/span&gt; to the color green.&lt;\/div&gt; \n&lt;p&gt;\nEvery other will word will stay the same. \n&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n&lt;\/div&gt;<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at this code and you\u2019ll notice inside the &lt;p&gt; element are a few &lt;span&gt; elements. One of the &lt;span&gt; elements is a child of the &lt;p&gt; element. The other &lt;span&gt; is a child of the &lt;div&gt; with a class of green. As our paragraph states, we will change the color of the words wrapped in the &lt;span&gt; only. Make sure our HTML is rendering before we do that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/iR3bnpJdRzIwsq1CzCQeT4Lf2F4YaVtdHjwqHecFlqkjNYR-Oi9DIefQs_iX6Kf1Bh0JQQNYqxQG7okIP98RPQ_pYHTDhu-aOabwfhnwB4rdWRmoMw5WgSDtLIKD5ZU9bX4q7VkI\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our HTML is rendering. We are now going to change the colors of the text to illustrate <code>find()<\/code> in action. This is a great beginner\u2019s step because we only need to change one CSS attribute to achieve this. While passing the &lt;p&gt; element as our selector to <code>find()<\/code>, we can use jQuery\u2019s <code>css()<\/code> method to render the color changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;script&gt;\n$(document).ready(() =&gt; {\n  $('p').find('span').css('color', 'blue');\n  $('div.green').find('span').css('color', 'green');\n})\n \n&lt;\/script&gt;<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first usage of <code>find()<\/code>, we are selecting all of the &lt;p&gt; elements. We use <code>find()<\/code> to locate any &lt;span&gt; elements that are the children of &lt;p&gt;. In this example, it is only the word blue. We then use the <code>css()<\/code> method to change the color to blue.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On to the second usage of <code>find()<\/code>. This time we are selecting the &lt;div&gt; with the class of green and calling <code>find()<\/code> on it. The method is locating another &lt;span&gt; element that is the child of the &lt;div&gt;.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, this is only the word green. Like the first line, we are using the <code>css()<\/code> method to change the color to green.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s run it and see what happens!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/NmmVK1C_x_z30uO5sa15iVH9aCEO_aSkwA4cuqwxOagZqMkO8QpJd_AlJeZH2NXXSALKH8lWknoNiwXquCqxMuztLiG-CL0FzyoN60rr_OR3aktZVCcmRgyHPk7Fd7hsjGON74Pi\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice that both the words blue and green were wrapped in a span element with no class or id assigned. We\u2019ve been able to still isolate those words and change their color. As you may have guessed, it is because the parent elements of the &lt;span&gt; are different.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &lt;p&gt; is the parent of the &lt;span&gt; of the word blue. The &lt;div class=\u2018green\u2019&gt; is the parent of the &lt;span&gt; containing the word green.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This happened because <code>find()<\/code> locates the children of the elements used as the selector. Let\u2019s add some complexity and look at an example of a to do list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">jQuery find() in a List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, we have a to do list. We have things to do today, but we also have to buy things at the store to do them. Once we buy these items, we can mark them off the list and get on with our day! Here is our list:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;script src=&quot;https:\/\/ajax.googleapis.com\/ajax\/libs\/jquery\/3.5.1\/jquery.min.js&quot;&gt;&lt;\/script&gt;\n&lt;div id=&quot;main&quot;&gt;\n&lt;h2&gt;\nTo Do list example\n&lt;\/h2&gt;\n&lt;ul&gt;\n  &lt;li class=&quot;store&quot;&gt;Go to the store\n    &lt;ul&gt;\n      &lt;li&gt;Trash bags&lt;\/li&gt;\n      &lt;li&gt;Dish Soap&lt;\/li&gt;\n    &lt;\/ul&gt;\n  &lt;\/li&gt;\n  &lt;li&gt;Take out the trash&lt;\/li&gt;\n  &lt;Li&gt;Wash the dishes&lt;\/Li&gt;\n&lt;\/ul&gt;\n&lt;\/div&gt;<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we have our list. We have the &lt;li&gt; elements of \u201cGo to the store,\u201d \u201cTake out the trash,\u201d and \u201cWash the dishes,\u201d as children of the &lt;ul&gt; element, which is a child of our &lt;div&gt; with an id of \u201cmain.\u201d Inside of our \u201cGo to the store\u201d list item, we have things to buy at the store. We need trash bags and dish soap to complete our chores today. We\u2019ve put them as a nested list as a child to the &lt;li&gt; with a class of store.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/yIGyZc7GSKgKXSWWsM6s-CqKryIKnq6RJhsZxmiXlYdflfnwUvlkgXw9rH76366xzy-Wo-tDojXDMCfzpeoqm_SvDARgLRYjbHqjCMFTqecHAS1AwUmLTbsS6_qG1r0rz8UqOiWM\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we can mark these items off the list after we buy them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-codemirror-blocks-code-block code-block\"><pre>&lt;script&gt;\n$(document).ready(() =&gt; {\n  $('li.store').find('li').css('text-decoration', 'line-through')\n})\n&lt;\/script&gt;<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We can cross out just those items on our list by selecting the &lt;li&gt; with the class of store and using <code>find()<\/code> to locate the children &lt;li&gt; elements. Again, we are using the jQuery <code>css()<\/code> method to apply a value of \u201cline-through\u201d to the attribute of \u201ctext-decoration\u201d. Doing so will render the selected items with a line through them:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/9_pKrmYrpttbZVdC-_mrqVjbqAW3bz5t4QCkiZFYhLIuJqsIhUjTQxC7ipWbdnJOfk1ndFDF-EcJuV47VM_vtfzQd3vp1JNtWxBuOq8Ku0XjNxp4QrnXybM3veW8Gk6ttETa7fk_\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The jQuery <code>find()<\/code> method locates all child elements of the selector it is passed. The <code>find()<\/code> method will only manipulate these child elements, and not the parent itself.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to differentiate what child elements to select allows us to be general and change whole sections of a page, or specific and only change certain elements of a page. It is within this flexibility that <code>find()<\/code> makes itself the most useful.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more on how to learn jQuery <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/what-is-jquery-used-for\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The jQuery find() method may sound familiar, but don\u2019t get it confused with the JavaScript method find()!
