JQuery double class :visible selector

Just a quick one. I am trying to work it the next element that is visible of a cl开发者_Go百科ass and then select a class contained within it.

The first I retrieve like this.

var panelnext = $('.sidewrapper:visible').next();

Now to get the class within it I tried this

var paneltarget = $('.sidewrapper:visible').next('.panelcontent');

That did not work unfortunately. Any ideas?

Marvellous

Do you mean $('.sidewrapper:visible').next().find('.panelcontent')？

$('.sidewrapper:visible').next().find('.panelcontent');

When you say "within," you probably want find (for finding descendant elements) rather than next, which is for siblings. You may want to combine it with :first to stop at the first match, if you only want one match.

If you really do mean a sibling, rather than a descendant, you may want nextAll (perhaps combined with :first) rather than next. next will match the immediate sibling element if it matches the selector, or nothing; it never goes beyond the immediate sibling (behavior I found surprising when I first encountered it). nextAll will search the following siblings for matching elements (and so could skip some non-matches), and of course when combined with :first will stop at the first match.
