Question

Suppose I have this HTML:

<div id="Wrapper">

  <div class="MyClass">some text</div>
  <div class="MyClass">some text</div>

  <div class="MyBorder"></div>

  <div class="MyClass">some text</div>
  <div class="MyClass">some text</div>
  <div class="MyClass">some text</div>

  <div class="MyBorder"></div>

  <div class="MyClass">some text</div>
  <div class="MyClass">some text</div>

</div>

I want to get the text of the MyClass divs next to the one clicked on, in the order they’re in.

This is what I have:

$('#Wrapper').find('.MyClass').each(function () {
  AddressString = AddressString + "+" + $(this).text();
});

I know adds ALL the MyClass divs; I’m just wondering if there’s a quick way to do it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Using .text(), .prevUntil() and .nextUntil()

To get text of all previous and next .MyClass element from clicked .MyBorder:

$('#Wrapper').on('click', '.MyBorder', function() {
  var AddressString = [];
  $(this).nextUntil('.MyBorder').text(function(index, text) {
       AddressString.push(text);
  });

  $(this).prevUntil('.MyBorder').text(function(index, text) {
       AddressString.push(text);
  });
  console.log(AddressString.join(', '));
});

Combination of prevUntil(), nextUntil() with siblings()

$('#Wrapper').on('click', '.MyClass' function() {
    var AddressString = [];
    $(this).siblings('.MyClass').prevUntil('.MyBorder').add($(this).prevUntil('.MyBorder')).text(function(index, text) {
        AddressString.push(text);
    });
    console.log(AddressString.join(', '));
});
