Select only immediate children

Question

I have an arbitrarily deep list

<ul id="tehList">
<li>
  <ul>
  <li></li>
  <li>
    <ul>
    <li></li>
    <li></li>
    </ul> 
  </li>
  <li></li>
  </ul>
</li>
</ul>

I have a jQuery object that references a specific li in this list. For example var tehList = $("#tehList li");

How can I select only the immediate children of tehList?

Thanks!

Answer 2

simply do this :

$("#tehList li").children();

It'll select only the immediate child of tehlist's li
