jQuery('prev ~ siblings')
version added: 1.0prev Any valid selector.
siblings A selector to filter elements that are the following siblings of the first selector.
The notable difference between (prev + next
) and (prev ~ siblings
) is their respective reach. While the former reaches only to the immediately following sibling element, the latter extends that reach to all following sibling elements.

Finds all divs that are siblings after the element with #prev as its id. Notice the span isn't selected since it is not a div and the "niece" isn't selected since it is a child of a sibling, not an actual sibling.
HTML:
<div>div (doesn't match since before #prev)</div> <span id="prev">span#prev</span> <div>div sibling</div> <div>div sibling <div id="small">div niece</div></div> <span>span sibling (not div)</span> <div>div sibling</div>
CSS:
div,span { display:block; width:80px; height:80px; margin:5px; background:#bbffaa; float:left; font-size:14px; } div#small { width:60px; height:25px; font-size:12px; background:#fab; }
Code:
$("#prev ~ div").css("border", "3px groove blue");
