jQuery

Hi,

I want to find an element by class name. I know it will appear in a particular parent div, so rather than search the entire dom, I'd like to search only the particular div. I am trying this, but does not seem to be the correct syntax:

var element = $("#parentDiv").(".myClassNameOfInterest");

what's the right way to do that?

Thanks
