I'm trying to select the adjacent sibling of "this" in jquery

Question

$(this+"p").slideDown("slow");

$(this)+$("p").slideDown("slow");

$("this+p").slideDown("slow");

does not work.

Answer 1

Next.

$(this).next("p").slideDown("slow")

Make sure that the "p" element is directly adjacent, though. Otherwise you'll want to use nextAll.

Answer 2

Yeah, your syntax is bad. You should use the jQuery Sibling function:

$(this).siblings().find("p").slideDown("slow");

The jQuery API site is awesome for looking stuff like this up, I rely on it nearly daily. I'd keep an eye on it.
