jQuery .nextAll()
Learn all about the jQuery function .nextAll().
Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .nextAll()
method allows us to search through the successors of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements.
The method optionally accepts a selector expression of the same type that we can pass to the $()
function. If the selector is supplied, the elements will be filtered by testing whether they match it.
Consider a page with a simple list on it:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

If we begin at the third item, we can find the elements which come after it:
1
|
|
The result of this call is a red background behind items 4 and 5. Since we do not supply a selector expression, these following elements are unequivocally included as part of the object. If we had supplied one, the elements would be tested for a match before they were included.
