In jQuery, how do I access child divs within a cloned div object?

I first run this to get my cloned data

var cloned = $(".hoverer:first").clone().attr({id: 'id_'+itm_id, class: 'hoverer-active'});

That div has a div within it that has an id and class, and that div also has a div in it that has id and class, and I am trying to access the data of the 3rd div?

<div id="id_2" class="hoverer-active">
    <div id="sub1" class="test">
        <div id="bus2" class="tset">
            data i want to play with
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

This is the selector for that div within your cloned object. Rembember in jquery when selecting an element you can provide a second parameter that defines the context in which to search.

$("#bus2", clone);

You can use the cloned variable as the context of new jquery commands..

So you can do 

$('#bus2', cloned).attr('id', newid); // to alter the id if you know the existing one

alternatively, since the cloned variable holds a jquery object you can use the .find method to find content inside it..

cloned.find('#bus2').attr('id',newid);
