Javascript: Get div inside div

Question

I have two divs nested like this:

<div id="upper"> <div id="lower" name="moo"> </div> </div> 

How can I, using only jQuery or JavaScript, get the name of this bottom nested div?

Answer 1

 var nameValue = $('#lower').attr('name'); 

But if you really want to use the outer div to select the inner one:

 var nameValue = $('#upper > div').attr('name'); 

or

 var nameValue = $('#upper #lower').attr('name'); 

or

 var nameValue = $('#upper').find('#lower').attr('name'); 

Answer 2

Use .children .
