jquery sibling method

What is .siblings() method in jQuery?

• When we want to fetch siblings of every elements in the set of matched elements then we can use siblings() method.
• We filter the elements fetched by an optional selector.
• Syntax : .siblings( [selector])
• “selector” is the selector expression which specify the matched elements.

For example
<ul>
<li> item 1 </li>
<li id=”second_item”> item 2 </li>
<li class=”myitem”> item 3 </li>
<li class=”myitem”> item 4 </li>
</ul>
Now we want to find the siblings of the element of id “second_item” and change the text color to Blue :
$(‘li.second_item’).siblings().css(‘color’,’blue’);
If we want specific sibling elements for example the elements having class “myitem” then we can pass a optional selector:
$(‘li.second_item’).siblings(‘.myitem’).css(‘color’,’blue’);
