.siblings()
In this chapter you will learn:
Syntax and Description
.siblings([selector])
gets the siblings of each element in
the set of matched elements, optionally filtered by a selector.
selector (optional) is a string
containing a selector expression to match elements against.
Its return value is the new jQuery object.
Consider a page with a simple list as follows:
<ul>/* j ava2 s . c o m*/
<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.
