next() finds the the unique next siblings for that element (in this case their are none). You want the <a> that is the child of the element's parent's next sibling, which takes longer to write in English than in jQuery :)
$('a.tab-menu-item-selected').parent().next().children(); nb this assumes the <a> is the only child, otherwise add a filter expr in children On Mar 4, 7:21 am, Joseph Le Brech <jlebr...@hotmail.com> wrote: > you should be able to use the :after pseudo element > > http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#before-and-after > > > > > Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 16:10:03 +0100 > > Subject: [jQuery] next() question > > From: aplennev...@gmail.com > > To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com > > > Hello, > > > say i have this markup: > > > <ul class="tab-nav-menu tab-menu"> > > <li><a class="tab-menu-item tab-menu-item-selected" > > href="#fragment0">0</a></li> > > <li><a class="tab-menu-item" href="#fragment1">1</a></li> > > <li><a class="tab-menu-item" href="#fragment2">2</a></li> > > <li><a class="tab-menu-item" href="#fragment3">3</a></li> > > <li><a class="tab-menu-item" href="#fragment4">4</a></li> > > < li><a class="tab-menu-item" href="#fragment5">5</a></li> > > <li><a class="tab-menu-item" href="#fragment6">6</a></li> > > <li id="imageLegend">Arca 180</li> > > > </ul> > > > I need to find the anchor link that immediately follows > > a.tab-menu-item-selected. i tried using next but i never get it right > > > $('a.tab-menu-item-selected').next('a.tab-menu-item').length returns always > > 0 > > > any idea how to find this selector would be greatly appreciated. > > > Thanks > > > Alexandre > > _________________________________________________________________ > Free photo editing software from Windows Live .
