jquery string concatenation in selector

Question

i want to concat some string(id) with parent id... so i'v tried this-------------->

$(' #cate_id2 > ul > li:has(ul) ').hover(function () {
                $('#cate_id2 > ul' + this + ' > ul').stop().slideDown('fast');
            },

want to concat #cate_id2 > ul with this and than append > ul ....

string should becomes after execute '#cate_id2 > ul' + li:has(ul) + ' > ul'
i mean li:has(ul) will replaced by with its value.......

This sounds like a very convoluted method. What is it you're actually trying to do with the selector? I'm 99% sure there's a better way using traversal. — Rory McCrossan

In the "hover" handler, you can use $(this).children("ul") to find and act on the child <ul> elements. — Pointy

Try it like this

$(' #cate_id2 > ul > li:has(ul) ').hover(function () {
    $(this).children('ul').stop().slideDown('fast');
}

Wow. Do you have a PhD in understanding gibberish?

... or .children("ul") to capture the "> ul" from the original weirdness.

@RoryMcCrossan don't read the text, just the code :) From the desired outcome string it SUDDENLY becomes clear that the OP wants just a direct ul child of the element he already selected :)
