The nextUntil() is an inbuilt method in jQuery that is used to find all sibling elements between two given elements. Siblings are those having the same parent element in DOM Tree. Document Object Model (DOM) is a World Wide Web Consortium standard. This defines accessing elements in the DOM tree.

Syntax:

$(selector1).nextUntil(selector2)

Here selector1 is the starting element after which siblings are going to be found out.

Parameters: It accepts a parameter “selector2” which is the last selected element to find the siblings.

Return Value: It returns all the siblings between “selector1” and “selector2”.

jQuery code to show the working of nextUntil() method:

Example 1:

html




<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 
<head>
    <style>
        .bet_sib * {
            display: block;
            border: 2px solid lightgrey;
            color: black;
            padding: 5px;
            margin: 15px;
        }
    </style>
    <script src=
 
    </script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $("span").nextUntil("p").css({
                "color": "black",
                "border": "2px solid green"
            });
        });
    </script>
</head>
 
<body class="bet_sib">
    <div>
        This is the parent element !!!
        <p>
            This is first paragraph!
        </p>
        <span>first span box !</span>
        <h2>heading 2!</h2>
        <h3>heading 3!</h3>
        <h4>heading 4!</h4>
        <h5>heading 5!</h5>
        <h6>heading 6!</h6>
        <p>This is second paragraph!</p>
    </div>
</body>
