# Next Siblings Selector ("prev ~ siblings")

## next siblings ( prev, siblings ) version added: 1.0

- prev
  Type: Selector
  Any valid selector.

- siblings
  Type: Selector
  A selector to filter elements that are the following siblings of the first selector.

Description: Selects all sibling elements that follow after the "prev" element, have the same parent, and match the filtering "siblings" selector.

The notable difference between (`prev + next`) and (`prev ~ siblings`) is their respective reach. While the former reaches only to the immediately following sibling element, the latter extends that reach to all following sibling elements.

## Examples:

#### Example: Finds all divs that are siblings after the element with #prev as its id. Notice the span isn't selected since it is not a div and the "niece" isn't selected since it is a child of a sibling, not an actual sibling.
