jQuery: Find previous element with class

Question

I have a really simple problem.

How can I find the first previous element of another element? I tried the code below without success.

HTML:

&         


        

Answer 1

if you want to target closest children of top parent you can do so as something define below.

lets assume you have an HTML like

  

    Child of 1st Parent DIV
  
  

    Child of 2nd Parent DIV
  

similarly if you want to target grandparent next parent containers children just change .prev() to .next()

hope i made it simple to define :)
