Siblings in Jquery
In jQuery, the siblings of an element are its neighboring elements that share the same parent. You can use jQuery methods to select and manipulate sibling elements relative to a particular element.
Here’s an overview of how to work with siblings in jQuery:
? Basic Sibling Selectors
? 1. .siblings()
The .siblings()
method selects all sibling elements of the selected element (elements that share the same parent).
$(<div "#first").siblings().css("color", "blue");</script>
In this example, all siblings of the #first
div (#second
and #third
) will have their text color changed to blue.
? 2. Select the Next Sibling
"#first").next().css("color", "red");</script>
This will select the next sibling of the #first
div (#second
) and change its text color to red.
? 3. Select the Previous Sibling
"#second").prev().css("color", "green");</script>
This will select the previous sibling of the #second
div (#first
) and change its text color to green.
? 4. Select All Siblings with a Specific Class
You can also filter siblings using a class selector:
".sibling").first().siblings(".sibling").css("color", "purple");</script>
This selects all sibling elements of the first .sibling
class element and changes their text color to purple.
? Chaining Sibling Methods
You can chain sibling-related methods together to perform multiple actions in one line.
"#first").next().prev().css("color", "orange");</script>
In this example, the .next()
method selects the next sibling of #first
(#second
), and the .prev()
method then selects the previous sibling of that (#first
again). The text color of the #first
element is changed to orange.
