next siblings selector
Description: Selects all sibling elements that follow after the "prev" element, have the same parent, and match the filtering "siblings" selector.
-
version added: 1.0jQuery( "prev ~ siblings" )
prev: Any valid selector.
siblings: A selector to filter elements that are the following siblings of the first selector.
The notable difference between (prev + next) and (prev ~ siblings) is their respective reach. While the former reaches only to the immediately following sibling element, the latter extends that reach to all following sibling elements.
Example:
Finds all divs that are siblings after the element with #prev as its id. Notice the span isn't selected since it is not a div and the "niece" isn't selected since it is a child of a sibling, not an actual sibling.
