Search element inside element jQuery

In my HTML page DOM what I want to achieve is there is <li> tag with id 'liPref' and I want to search if that 'lipref' element has some element whose id contains string 'dlpref' as its inner HTML.

I am not getting any idea how do I achieve that using jQuery selectors.

You can try to use attribute contains *= selector:

if($("#liPref [id*='dlpref']").length) { 
   // Existed
}

Try to check whether the liPref element has a an element with id containing the given string

if($('#liPref').has('[id*=dlpref]').length){
   alert('foune')
}

.has(), attribute contains

Try this:

$("#liPref").find("[id*='dlpref']").each(function(){
//do something here
});

For getting length:

 $("#liPref").find("[id*='dlpref']").length;

attribute-contains-selector
