Remove a CLASS for all child elements

Given the following HTML:

<div> <ul> <li>blah</li> <li>blah</li> <li>blah</li> <li>blah</li> </ul>
</div>

Using table-filters as the jQuery selector, how can I clear out the elements having CLASS=ACTIVE, no matter which LI it happens to be on?

thanks

This should work:

$("#table-filters>ul>li.active").removeClass("active");
//Find all `li`s with class `active`, children of `ul`s, children of `table-filters`

You can also do like this :

 $("#table-filters li").parent().find('li').removeClass("active");
