<div id="grandfather">
<div id="uncle"></div>
<div id="father>
<div id="me"></div>
</div>
</div>
I am at $("#me") , and I want to select my uncle, using stuff like :
$("#me").find("#uncle")
$("#me").next("#uncle")
$("#me").prev("#uncle")
How ?
You could use $.parent
and $.prev
assuming your uncle is always above your father:
$(this).parent().prev(); // where 'this' is #me
You could also go all the way up to your grandfather, and find uncles from there:
$(this).parents("#grandfather").find(".uncles");
Or you could search your father's siblings:
$(this).parent().siblings("#uncle");
I would encourage you to read the Traversing portion of the jQuery API for various other methods.
var uncle = $('#me').parent().prev();
$(this).parent().prev().append("This is uncle");
