title: A d3.select... equivalent to jQuery.children()
body: <p>I'm using d3 to append some elements on enter() and then update them later. However, the next time i try to select those elements the selection is much larger than the original. This is because the original selection elements now have children that are the same type e.g.; <code>&lt;g&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;svg&gt;</code>. I expected selectAll() to only work at the first decedent level like jQuery.children() is there an equivalent in d3? If not whats the most efficient way to shim that?</p>
