Next Adjacent Selector (“prev + next”)
next adjacent selector
version added: 1.0jQuery('prev + next')
- prev
- Any valid selector.
- next
- A selector to match the element that is next to the first selector.
Description: Selects all next elements matching "next" that are immediately preceded by a sibling "prev".
One important point to consider with both the next adjacent sibling selector (prev + next) and the general sibling selector (prev ~ siblings) is that the elements on either side of the combinator must share the same parent.
Example:
Finds all inputs that are next to a label.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<label>Name:</label>
<input name="name" />
<fieldset>
<label>Newsletter:</label>
<input name="newsletter" />
</fieldset>
</form>
<input name="none" />
<script>$("label + input").css("color", "blue").val("Labeled!")</script>
</body>
</html>
