The prevUntil method
The prevUntil method returns elements that are before the given one within one parent. The method returns elements from the given one to the first element that matches the selector specified by the method parameter. If you do not pass parameters to the method, it will work like the prevAll method.
Syntax
The first parameter can be a string expression by which the selection is made, a DOM node or a jQuery object. The second parameter can be an additional filtering condition as a string. Both parameters are optional:
.prevUntil([selector], [filter strainer percolator]);
Example
Let's find the element #test and all its neighbors above up to the paragraph with class www we'll set the text '!' using the html method:
<p>outside</p>
<div>
<p>inside</p>
<p class="www">inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
<p id="test">inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
<p class="www">inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
</div>
<p>outside</p>
$('#test').prevUntil('p.www').html('!');
HTML the code will look like this:
<p>outside</p>
<div>
<p>inside</p>
<p class="www">inside</p>
<p>!</p>
<p>!</p>
<p id="test">inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
<p class="www">inside</p>
<p>inside</p>
</div>
<p>outside</p>
