jquery select child elements

I'm very new to jQuery.

I wrote this code to select child TD elements.

$(this)
    .children("div.tablescroll_wrapper")
    .children("table.tablescroll_body")
    .children("tbody")
    .children("tr.first")
    .children()

It works fine but looks bad, Is there a better way to do this?

Sorry for my low level English and thank you

you don't have to navigate the entire tree. Just setting an id to the table or selecting tr directly will work:

   $(this).find('tr:first').children();

is good enough. Otherwise, select the table with the id of the table:

$('div.tablescroll_wrapper > table.tablescroll_body > tr.first', this).children();

or

$('div.tablescroll_wrapper > table.tablescroll_body > tr.first > *', this);

I am not sure about your html structure, but what you are trying to achieve can be achieved with,

$(this).find("div.tablescroll_wrapper tr.first").children();
