Problem with jQuery selector "+"

Question

Today I found a weird jquery selector in the following code:

$(this).find("+div.parent").hide();

I searched for this in the jQuery API and found just what it means pre_element+next_element. What does +code do?

Thank.

Answer 1

selector + corresponds to the element that follows the previous one

for example, if you want to combine everything divthat is in bold, you can use this selector:

$("b+div")

therefore, if $(this)referenced by <b>:

$(this).find('+div.parent')

will fit all divwith the class parentthat immediately after<b>

Answer 2

+- Adjacent sibling selector

this, next()

$(this).find("+div.parent").hide();

$(this).next("div.parent").hide();

Answer 3

He will find divwith the class parentnext to anyone $(this).

Answer 4
