The next() function is used to get the immediate following sibling element in the set of matched elements. Only the following sibling’s element is select, it’s child element will be ignore.
This next() function is allow to filter it by ‘selector’. For example, next(‘div’) is used to get the immediate following sibling elements that are <div> elements only.

Nice tutorial!
Is there any way to make it so that when you click the “next” button and reach the last item, it goes back to the start?
I have found an error, if we click next() many times all buttons become red…
When you get all the buttons RED, than you click on RESET button, so that red color will disappear. Thank you
I dont think this is an “error” it is just going to the next div, which is that
I was having troubles to implement the jQuery next funtion because i did not know that the elements to use must be at the same level in the page.
This sample shows me how .next() does work. Thanks.
Hello friends,
JQuery gives new next functions in it’s latest version(1.4). I have mentioned the function’s short description in my post. Please see it and do the best using JQuery.
