can I select #id > #id with jQuery?

I've got this structure

<div id=slide1>

    <div id=slide_body>

    some content

    </div>

</div>



<div id=slide2>

    <div id=slide_body>

    some content

    </div>

</div>

Is there a way to select, using jquery, only the #slide_body inside #slide1?

Or is the only solution to append the id to each body div like

<div id=slide2>

    <div id=slide_2_slide_body>

    some content

    </div>

</div>

You can't use unique IDs in one document

This attribute assigns a name to an element. This name must be unique
in a document.

http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.5.2

In your example you may use class slide_body

<div id=slide1>

    <div class=slide_body>

    some content

    </div>

</div>

And then you can select it with #slide1 .slide_body or $(#slide1).find('.slide_body')
