Lets say I have two variables defining separate selectors, for example...

var parent = $('.parent');
var child = $('.child');

And I want to create a something like the following...

$(parent + child).click();

Which should be equivalent to doing this (if it was correct syntax)...

$('.parent .child').click();

This may not be best practice, however I am curious if it is possible. Thanks for your help in advance.
