prev ~ siblings
Matches all sibling elements after the "prev" element that match the filtering "siblings" selector.
Arguments:| prev | Selector | |
|---|
| Any valid selector. |
| siblings | Selector | |
|---|
| A filter selector to match elements that are following siblings to the first selector. |
Examples:| Name | Type |
|---|
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.
$("#prev ~ div").css("border", "3px groove blue");
