I am trying to teach myself jquery while reading someone else's code, and I found this line of code:
var b = $('#background .image img');
I don't see any documentation for it - any idea what it could mean?

Er, I don't want to know what $ means, I want to know what .image means. – Steven Matthews Feb 07 '12 at 19:44

Realized that it was just a CSS selector for the class image, as per TimWolla. – Steven Matthews Feb 07 '12 at 19:46

1Well, "it" wasn't really enough to tell which part you were asking about. – JJJ Feb 07 '12 at 19:49

This will select elements based on that CSS-Selector: Any <img> in an element with the class image, that is in an element with the ID background

It selects all <img> tags inside elements with class image inside the element with id background.
