How to use class selector on a jquery object?

Question

So I have my HTML inside a jquery object and want to grab an element by class from that object, I have the following code:

var feed = data.post.content;
var $newFeed = $(feed);
var stuff = $newFeed('.ERSIngredients').html();
console.log(stuff);

When I print $newFeed itself I can see this div with this class exist, but I'm always getting an error: "Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function"

What am I doing wrong?

var stuff = $('<div />', {html : feed}).find('.ERSIngredients').html(); — adeneo

I think that you want:

var stuff = $newFeed.find('.ERSIngredients').html();

In other words, find a descendent of $newFeed with the class ERSINgredients and then get the html out of that.

OP asked for an element of the jquery object. This gives a descendant of an element of the object. It's possible this is what they meant though.

So right now I'm trying to get every p elements using the same method by I'm always getting an empty variable.

var content = ""; 						$newFeed.find("p").each(function(index, element) {    							content += $(this).html();               						});

Print empty, but if I change it to for example $newFeed.find("div") then I will get every div.
