Is there a way to select sibling nodes?
For some performance reasons, I am trying to find a way to select only sibling nodes of the selected node. For example, <div id="outer"> <div id="inner1"> </div> <div id="inner2"> </div> <div id="inner3"> </div> <div id="inner4"> </div> </div> If I selected inner1 node, is there a way for me to access its siblings, inner2-4 nodes? Well... sure... just access the parent and then the children. node.parentNode.childNodes[] or... using jQuery: $('#innerId').siblings() Edit: Cletus as always is inspiring. I dug further. This is how jQuery gets siblings essentially: function getChildren(n, skipMe){
