.nextAll()
Get all following siblings of each element in the set of matched elements, optionally filtered by a selector.
.nextAll(selector)🡢 jQuery
selector
| String | A string containing a selector expression to match elements against. |
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:
<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>
If we begin at the third item, we can find the elements which come after it:
$("li.third-item").nextAll().css("background-color", "red");
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.
