Question

How do I test if the next element is certain type – e.g. I want to test if the next element following an image, is also an image. If so, then I want to add a class to that element

e.g. if this was the case then it would trigger true and add a class to the first image…

<p></p>
<img />
<img />
<p></p>

However, in this case then it would trigger false, and nothing would happen…

<p></p>
<img />
<p></p>

You can use the .is() method of jQuery to do that:

$("#yourimage").next().is("img");

So to add a class like you describe:

var yourimage = $("#yourimage");

if (yourimage.next().is("img")){
   yourimage.addClass("yourExtraClass");
}
