SO, WHAT IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS HOW DO I REFERENCE THE NEXT
ELEMENT WITH CLASS OF .CLEAR FROM MY PARENT ELEMENT -
this gives me the id of the next element with respect to parent (for
trial and error purposes, ive given all of my .cleared class divs an
id, ids will be removed)
var parentId="dynamic";
$("#"+parentId).next().get(0).id
so i thought i would need something along the lines of this but it
doesnt work -
var parentId="dynamic";
$("#"+parentId).next(".clear").get(0).id
You're using .next(), but that assumes that the .clear div is the very
next sibling of the parent element. From your description of what
you're doing, though, it isn't clear that .clear is a sibling. If it
is, and if it comes after $("#"+parentId), then you can
use .nextAll('.clear') instead of .next(.'clear') . If it isn't, maybe
you could paste a snippet of your html so that we can see the
relationship between the elements?
