How to get the tbody element of a table using JQuery?

Question

I have a table structure (Table1) with thead and tbody.

My main thead also has a table inside with its own thead and tbody.

When I use $('#Table1 tbody') it returns all tbody elements whereas I'd only need the tbody of the Table1.

How could this be achieved?

Thanks,

 $('#Table1 > tbody')

> will get direct children.

Note the quotes are outside the whole expression, and not around each element selector, as it can be seen elsewhere. Saved my day, thx !

Alternative:

 $('#Table1').children('tbody')

simple add table id and get the value example

 $('#dc-table tbody').on('keyup','.qty_approved', function(){ alert('tested...'); });
