How to select an element with a chain of ids in jQuery?

I have this html:

<div id="outer">
    <div id="inner">...</div>
</div>

In Prototpye I could just use that code to select the inner div by id:

$('#outer #inner');

How would I do that in jQuery? I tried the same selector, but it did not work.

Thanks!

$('#outer #inner');

Is already valid in jQuery and would select the #inner descendant of #outer.

JSFiddle demo.

You could also use:

$('#outer > #inner');
$('#outer').find('#inner');
$('#outer').children('#inner');
