CharacterData: nextElementSibling property

The read-only nextElementSibling property of the CharacterData interface returns the first Element node following the specified one in its parent’s children list, or null if the specified element is the last one in the list.

Value

An Element object, or null if no sibling has been found.

Example

TEXT
<div id="div-01">Here is div-01</div>
TEXT2
<div id="div-02">Here is div-02</div>
<pre>Here is the result area</pre>

// Initially, set node to the Text node with `TEXT`
let node = document.getElementById("div-01").previousSibling;

let result = "Next element siblings of TEXT:\n";

while (node) {
  result += `${node.nodeName}\n`;
  node = node.nextElementSibling; // The first node is a CharacterData, the others Element objects
}

document.querySelector("pre").textContent = result;
