<p>Assuming I have a tree structure</p>

<pre><code>UL
--LI
---INPUT (checkbox)
</code></pre>

<p>And I want to grab the checked inputs, I would select </p>

<pre><code>$('ul li input:checked')
</code></pre>

<p>However, I want to select the checked inputs of a specific object $myUL that doesn't have an ID.</p>

<pre><code>$myUL.children('li input:checked')
</code></pre>

<p>returns all li's since children filters immediate children - the checked filter has no impact. </p>

<p>Is there another way around this? Another descendant filter?</p>

use
```
$myUL.find('li>input:checked')
```
