Learn how to use $(this) selector and children
If you want to select img tag and modify values of it.
<div id="known_id"><img src="..."></div>
The jQuery constructor accepts a 2nd parameter which can be used to override the context of the selection.
$('#known_id').click(function(){ var img = jQuery("img", this); });
Which is the same as
$('#known_id').click(function(){ var img = jQuery(this).find("img"); });
If the imgs are direct descendants of the clicked element, you can also use:
$('#known_id').click(function(){ var img = jQuery(this).children("img"); });
