HTML DOM nextSibling Property

Element Object

Example

var x = document.getElementById("item1").nextSibling.innerHTML;
Try it Yourself »

Definition and Usage

The nextSibling property returns the node immediately following the specified node, in the same tree level.

The returned node is returned as a Node object.

The difference between this property and nextElementSibling, is that nextSibling returns the next sibling node as an element node, a text node or a comment node, while nextElementSibling returns the next sibling node as an element node (ignores text and comment nodes).

This property is read-only.

Tip: Use the previousSibling property to return the previous node of the specified node, in the same tree level.

Tip: Use the childNodes property to return any child node of a specified node.
