# jQuery - next( [selector] ) Method

# Description:

The next( [selector] ) method gets a set of elements containing the unique next siblings of each of the given set of elements.

# Syntax:

Here is the simple syntax to use this method:

    selector.next( [selector] )

## Parameters:

Here is the description of all the parameters used by this method:

- selector: The optional selector can be written using CSS 1-3 selector syntax. If we supply a selector expression, the element is unequivocally included as part of the object. If we do not supply one, the element would be tested for a match before it was included.

# Example:

Following is a simple example a simple showing the usage of this method. Try this example without passing selector in next() method:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>the title</title>
       <script type="text/javascript"
       src="/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

         $(document).ready(function(){
           $("p").next(".selected").addClass("hilight");
         });

      </script>
      <style>
          .hilight { background:yellow; }
      </style>

    </head>
    <body>
      <p>Hello</p>
      <p class="selected">Hello Again</p>
      <div><span>And Again</span></div>
    </body>
    </html>

This would generate following result.

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>the title</title>
       <script type="text/javascript"
       src="/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

         $(document).ready(function(){
           $("p").next(".selected").addClass("hilight");
         });

      </script>
      <style>
          .hilight { background:yellow; }
      </style>

    </head>
    <body>
      <p>Hello</p>
      <p class="hilight">Hello Again</p>
      <div><span>And Again</span></div>
    </body>
    </html>
