Get Next Element that Matches Selector in jQuery

Question

Using jQuery, I can use x.next() to get the next element only if it matches my selector. I can use x.nextAll() to get all next siblings that match my selector. And I can use x.nextUntil() to get all next siblings until one matches my selector.

But how can I get the next element that matches my selector?

do you mean like in here:: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4933236/efficient-concise-way-to-find-next-matching-sibling — Sudhir Bastakoti, Dec 19 '13 at 03:02

You could combine both:

var matchElement = $('elem').nextUntil('matchSelector').next();

or

var matchElement = $('elem').nextAll('matchSelector:first'); //$('elem').nextAll('matchSelector').first();

The second one only requires a small change to the existing code, which I'm modifying. Thanks. – Jonathan Wood Dec 19 '13 at 03:03
