We can traverse the sideways in the Dom tree with the help of jQuery and find the siblings of an element.
The sibling elements share the same parent.
Traversing Sideways: jQuery methods to traverse the sideways in dom tree.
- siblings(): The siblings() is an inbuilt method in jQuery which is used to find all siblings elements of the selected element.
Syntax:
$(selector).siblings(function)
- next() & nextAll(): The next() is an inbuilt function in jQuery which is used to return the next sibling of the selected element.
Syntax:
$(selector).next()
- nextUntil(): The nextUntil() is an inbuilt method in jQuery which is used to find all sibling elements between two given elements.
Syntax:
$(selector1).nextUntil(selector2)
- prev() & prevAll(): The prev() is an inbuilt function in jQuery which is used to return the previous sibling element of the selected element.
Syntax:
