<div id="main-container">
    <ul>
        <li id="element-1" class="elements">
            <div>
                <span data-target="f-page-options-1" class="f-page-options"></span>
            </div>
        </li>
        <li id="element-2" class="elements">
            <div>
                <span data-target="f-page-options-2" class="f-page-options"></span>
            </div>
        </li>
        <li id="element-3" class="elements">
            <div>

        <li id="element-6" class="elements">
            <div>
                <span data-target="f-page-options-6" class="f-page-options"></span>
            </div>
        </li>

</div>

Script Preparation code:

var mainContainer = document.getElementById('main-container');
var $mainContainer = $('#main-container');

Tests:

jQuery - find ~ cached.
$mainContainer.find('.f-page-options')
jQuery - find ~ without cache.
$('.f-page-options')
native - global
document.getElementsByClassName('f-page-options')
native - cached.
mainContainer.getElementsByClassName('f-page-options')
jQuery - using context.
$('.f-page-options', $mainContainer)
jQuery - using data attributes.
$('span[data-target="f-page-options-1"]')
jQuery init after using native DOM
var el = document.getElementsByClassName('f-page-options'); $(el)
