You'll want to leverage Prototype's nextElementSibling function. That function grabs element.nextSibling and traverses until it finds an an actual element (by checking nodeType).
You could wrap a function around that which stores the tagName of the first element it matches, and then continues to find nextElementSibling until it either returns null, or break when the tagName doesn't match the original tagName. Take a look at the innards of Element.adjacent and Element.nextElementSibling for an idea of what I mean.
