How to get a Selector using this

I have a Selector in a Selector. I want the inner Selector to select only those elements, that are also selected by the outer Selector. This is what my naiveté came up with:

$('.some-class').hover(function() {
    $( this + '.another-class'); 
})

Put differently, I want the elements with with another-class AND which are children of the element that is hovering. How do I do that?

Use the children() method.

$('.some-class').hover(function() {
    $(this).children('.another-class');
});

This method falls under the traversal category, which allows you to select ancestors, descendants, siblings etc all from the current element.
