Traversing the DOM

Accessing Parents, children, sibling

You can access any time the parent element, the children elements or sibling elements by using these JQuery functions. For example:

$(element).parent() => return the parent element of the selected element.

$(element).children() => returns all direct children nodes of the element.

$(element).siblings() => returns all siblings elements of the element.

$(element).find('p') => returns all paragraphs that are descendants of the element.
