jQuery 3.x child selector : <p>In jQuery 1.10.2 you could do <a href="http://api.jquery.com/child-selector/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this.</a> </p>

<pre><code>$("parent &gt; child")
</code></pre>

<p>Now in jQuery 3.1.1 this doesn't work...</p>

<p>Get this error: </p>

<pre><code>$("button[tooltip] ^ span")
jquery-3.1.1.min.js:2 Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: button[tooltip] ^ span

at new r.fn.init (jquery-3.1.1.min.js:2)
at r (jquery-3.1.1.min.js:2)
at &lt;anonymous&gt;:1:1
</code></pre>

<p>What is the correct way to select child in jQuery 3.x?</p>
