The prevAll method
The prevAll method returns all elements that come before the given one within a single parent.
Syntax
Getting all neighbors above:
$(selector).prevAll();
You can also filter neighbors by a given selector:
$(element).prevAll(selector);
Example
Let's find the element #test and set the text '!' to all its neighbors above using the html method:
<p>outside</p>
<div>
<p>inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
<p id="test">inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
</div>
<p>outside</p>
$('#test').prevAll().html('!');
HTML the code will look like this:
<p>outside</p>
<div>
<p>!</p>
<p>!</p>
<p id="test">inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
</div>
<p>outside</p>
