Using your "myclass" example, the enhanced .siblings() method might be used like this:
$("DIV").siblings("SPAN.myclass:first", false, "next") Not ethat this will return all the SPANs with classname "myclass" that follow all the DIVs, so as it stands it it probably no different from the standard jQuery syntax: $("DIV").siblings("SPAN.myclass"). My solution will make more sense when trying to find the SPAN that follows an individual DIV, eg: $ ("DIV:contains(first)").siblings("SPAN.myclass:first", false, "next") George
