Testing jQuery

>>> $("body span");
 
[ span, span.foo ]
 
Selecting Child Elements 
Child elements are a more-specific style of descendant selector. Only the very next level of element is 
considered for matching. To select a child element, use the parent element followed by a greater than (>) 
symbol, followed by the child element to match: 
parent>child 
In your test file, try to select any spans that are child elements of the body element by entering the 
following command in the console: 
$("body>span"); 
Because there are no spans directly contained within the body element, the console will output the 
following: 
>>> $("body>span");
 
[ ]
 
Next, filter all span elements that are direct children of a paragraph element: 
$("p>span"); 
The resulting output looks like this: 
>>> $("p>span");
