Jquery - find the next input:text element after a known element

Question

I have an id for a Given the above, is it possible to find the next input:text element regardless of any other mark up in

Answer 1

@Cawas - nice solution, but I suggest to use it not excessive, because of $('*') is expensive ;-)

Regardless of that, I extended it for my needs:

(function( $ ){
     $.fn.findNextOverall = function(sel, returnItselfIfMatched) {

       if(returnItselfIfMatched && $(this).is(sel)) return $(this);

       var $result = $(sel).first();
       if ($result.length <= 0) {
         return $result;
       }
       $result = [];
       var thisIndex = $('*').index($(this));
       var selIndex = Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER;
       $(sel).each(function(i,val){
         var valIndex = $('*').index($(val));
         if (thisIndex < valIndex && valIndex < selIndex) {
           selIndex = valIndex;
           $result = $(val);
         }
       });
       return $result;
     }; 
    })( jQuery );

So if returnItselfIfMatched is set true it returns itself, if it matches the selector itself. Useful, if you don't know, which element is calling and you are searching for exactly itself.
