## next adjacent selector

#### version added: 1.0jQuery('prev + next')

- prev
    Any valid selector.
  next
    A selector to match the element that is next to the first selector.

Description: Selects all next elements matching "next" that are immediately preceded by a sibling "prev".

One important point to consider with both the next adjacent sibling selector (`prev + next`) and the general sibling selector (`prev ~ siblings`) is that the elements on either side of the combinator must share the same parent.

### Example:

#### Finds all inputs that are next to a label.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <head>
      <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7rc2.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
      <form>

        <label>Name:</label>
        <input name="name" />
        <fieldset>
          <label>Newsletter:</label>

          <input name="newsletter" />
        </fieldset>
      </form>
      <input name="none" />
    <script>$("label + input").css("color", "blue").val("Labeled!")</script>

    </body>
    </html>
