Find Children vs Get Ancestor

[nadim.warsi]

See if this helps:

Get Ancestor & Get Children Difference?

To my understanding: Element 1 - Get Ancestor ^ \ Element 2 - Your currently selected element \ \ Element 3 - Get Children v Does this help show which direction they will pull? Perhaps if you are having issues then your selector for the main element you want to find ancestor/children of is not specific enough?
