JQuery div child of td child of div -

I want to select a group of DIV elements that are contained within a group of TD elements. These TD elements are part of the table inside another DIV. The ID is given in the upper DIV, and TD is a specific category of elements. If I first target the TD elements and select the least DIV elements, then it works. However, there are more elements of this type that are contained in the second-highest DIV elements, which I am targeting the top DIV.

Hope this makes sense.

I am trying to do something like

  $ ('div [id = "uppermost"]> TD.   Div ')   
 This works  
  $ (' td. & Lt; classname & gt; & gt; div ')   
 But more items are also selected than I need.   
 
 
 Maybe you want to:  
  $ (top #) Td.whatever & gt; div ')   
 "& gt;" The immediate child operator is probably not working for you.  & lt; Table & gt;  (and also inside  & lt; tr & gt;  elements inside), as you say,  & lt; Td>  elements, so they are not the immediate children of the container.
