How do you get an element with a certain class within $(this) in jQuery?

I'm working on a function that process form data through ajax. I've got the function written, but in the end, once I've got the data, I need to put a message into a div within the submitted form. The div has a class of 'message'.

When referring to the form as $(this) in my function, how would I get to the div with the class of "message" within it? (So the equivalent of $('form.message'), but using $(this) instead of form)

Give your selector context:

$(".message", this);

That's all :)

Try

$(this).children('.message')

Depending on the structure/lay out of your html this should work.

If not you should post your html so we can have a better idea of what your trying to do.
