Showing only a `<div>` element, and all its children

I have a rather complex HTML page, with a large DOM ele开发者_C百科ment tree. For a specified <div id='mydiv'>, I would like to hide all DOM elements not contained in <div id='mydiv'>, and show all DOM elements contained in (and including) <div id='mydiv'>.

The jQuery code I have tried is:

$('*').hide();
$('#mydiv').show();

but this doesn't do what I want.

   $('body > *').hide();   
   $('#mydiv').show();
