I'm trying to select the adjacent sibling of "this" in jquery

$(this+"p").slideDown("slow");

$(this)+$("开发者_StackOverflowp").slideDown("slow");

$("this+p").slideDown("slow");

does not work.

Yeah, your syntax is bad. You should use the jQuery Sibling function:

$(this).siblings().find("p").slideDown("slow");

The jQuery API site is awesome for looking stuff like this up, I rely on it nearly daily. I'd keep an eye on it.

Next.

$(this).next("p").slideDown("slow")

Make sure that the "p" element is directly adjacent, though. Otherwise you'll want to use nextAll.

jQuery have not seemed to apply this? Possibly the syntax we are trying to use is incorrect.

next() can only select elements with an ID or Class - Not just a naked dom element as expected.

Instead use. > means select first level decends only.

$('body > div').hide();

But this gives the exact same result

$('body').children('div').hide();

But,

• Next
• $('body + div').hide();

and

• Previous
• $('body ~ div').hide();

Do not seem to work as expected? But jQuery use it as example for CSS selection...

Possibly there is a complex syntax to achieve this but I could not figure it out...
