HTML DOM nextElementSibling Property

Last Updated : 09 Jun, 2023

The nextElementSibling property is used to return the immediate next element of the specified element, in the same tree level or null if the specified element is the last one in the list. It is a read-only property. It differs from the nextSibling property as nextSibling returns the next sibling node as an element node, a text node, or a comment node while nextElementSibling returns the next sibling as an element node (i.e. it ignores text and comment nodes).

Syntax:

node.nextElementSibling

Return value: This property returns a next sibling of the specified element or null if the current element has no next sibling.

           let a =
                document.getElementById("Select").nextElementSibling;
                document.getElementById("p").innerHTML = a.text;
                document.getElementById("p").style.color = "white";
