Reset to default 4This is fastest as it does not use pseudo-selectors
$('#foo > div').first()
// same as
$('#foo > div').eq(0)
// same as
$('#foo > div').slice(0,1)
This should do it:
$("#foo :first-child");
If you want based on contents rather than position, you could use this:
http://api.jquery./contains-selector/
$("div:contains('bar')")
