CharacterData: nextElementSibling property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The read-only nextElementSibling property of the CharacterData interface returns the first Element node following the specified one in its parent's children list, or null if the specified element is the last one in the list.

Value

A Element object, or null if no sibling has been found.

Example

html
TEXT
<div id="div-01">Here is div-01</div>
TEXT2
<div id="div-02">Here is div-02</div>
<pre>Here is the result area</pre>
js
// Initially, set node to the Text node with `TEXT`
let node = document.getElementById("div-01").previousSibling;

let result = "Next element siblings of TEXT:\n";

while (node) {
  result += `${node.nodeName}\n`;
  node = node.nextElementSibling; // The first node is a CharacterData, the others Element objects
}

document.querySelector("pre").textContent = result;
