.siblings()

Syntax

Parameters

selector (optional)

A string containing a selector expression to match elements against

Return value

The new jQuery object.

Description

Get the siblings of each element in the set of matched elements, optionally filtered by a selector.

Examples

Consider a page with a simple list as follows:

 
<ul>
 <li>list item 1</li>
 <li>list item 2</li>
 <li class="third-item">list item 3</li>
 <li>list item 4</li>
 <li>list item 5</li>
</ul>
  

$('li.third-item').siblings().css('background-color', 'red'); marks items 1, 2, 4, and 5.

As we do not supply a selector expression, all of the siblings are part of the object.

If we had supplied one, only the matching items among these four would be included.
