    <p>I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out something which I believe should be relatively simple.</p> <p><strong>I need to get the next occurrence of a class (div.content), which could appear anwhere in the DOM</strong></p> <p>Below is some simplified markup which represents what I have: </p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt; &lt;div class="content"&gt; Example content #1 &lt;a href="#" class="next"&gt;Next&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="content"&gt; Example content #2 &lt;a href="#" class="next"&gt;Next&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="container"&gt; &lt;div class="content"&gt; Example content #1 &lt;a href="#" class="next"&gt;Next&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="content"&gt; Example content #2 &lt;a href="#" class="next"&gt;Next&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Showing the next <code>content</code> div within a given <code>container</code> works fine, the problem comes when I try to get from the <strong>last</strong> <code>content</code> div in a <code>container</code> to the <strong>first</strong> <code>content</code> div in the next <code>container</code>.</p> <p>A couple of important points:-</p> <ul> <li><p>By default, <strong>only the first</strong> <code>content</code> div is visible, the rest are hidden, though I need a solution that would work if for instance the second <code>content</code> div in the fourth <code>container</code> is visible.</p></li> <li><p>Only one <code>content</code> div will ever be visible.</p></li> </ul> <p>The only solution I've managed to come up with so far seems extremely cumbersome, although it <em>does</em> work. </p> <pre><code>$('.next').click(function() { $theContent = $(this).parent('.content'); $theContent.hide(); if ($theContent.next('.content').length) { $theContent.next('.content').show(); } else if ($theContent.parent('.container').next('.container') .children('.content').length ) { $theContent.parent('.container').next('.container') .children('.content:first').show(); } else { // reached the end or something went wrong } }); </code></pre> <p>The major downside to this is that it relies on having the above DOM structure, I'd convinced myself that a method would exist for selecting the next element with a given class, regardless of where it appeared in the DOM.</p> <p><strong>Ideally I'd like a solution which doesn't rely on any given DOM structure, if that's not possible, any alternative solutions would be helpful!</strong></p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/MgP6N/2/" rel="nofollow">Here's a fiddle with the above example</a></p> <p>Sorry for the long-winded question!</p>

    2. COSorry about that. In a nutshell, I want to show the next element with a given class when an anchor is clicked, ideally regardless of where it appears in the dom tree

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
