instance method Element#nextSiblings
Element#nextSiblings() → [Element…]
Collects all of element
's next siblings and returns them as an Array
of elements.
Two elements are siblings if they have the same parent. So for example,
the head
and body
elements are siblings (their parent is the html
element). Next-siblings are simply the ones which follow element
in the
document.
The returned Array
reflects the siblings order in the document
(e.g. an index of 0 refers to the sibling right below element
).
Note that all of Prototype's DOM traversal methods ignore text nodes and return element nodes only.
Examples
<ul>
<li id="golden-delicious">Golden Delicious</li>
<li id="mutsu">Mutsu</li>
<li id="mcintosh">McIntosh</li>
<li id="ida-red">Ida Red</li>
</ul>
Then:
$('mutsu').nextSiblings();
// -> [li#mcintosh, li#ida-red]
$('ida-red').nextSiblings();
// -> []
This method can be called either as an instance method or as a generic method. If calling as a generic, pass the instance in as the first argument.
