Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .nextAll() method allows us to search through the successors of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements.

\n

The method optionally accepts a selector expression of the same type that we can pass to the $() function. If the selector is supplied, the elements will be filtered by testing whether they match it.

\n

Consider a page with a simple list on it:

\n 
\n<ul>\n  <li>list item 1</li>\n  <li>list item 2</li>\n  <li class=\"third-item\">list item 3</li>\n  <li>list item 4</li>\n  <li>list item 5</li>\n</ul>\n
\n

If we begin at the third item, we can find the elements which come after it:

\n 
\n$( \"li.third-item\" ).nextAll().css( \"background-color\", \"red\" );\n
\n

The result of this call is a red background behind items 4 and 5. Since we do not supply a selector expression, these following elements are unequivocally included as part of the object. If we had supplied one, the elements would be tested for a match before they were included.
