Usage of getNextElement Function

Published in: JavaScript 

Usage of the getNextElement function. Very basic usage to pick out the h1 tags, then change the properties of the next element(not node).

Plain TextExpand 
  1. window.onload = function() {
  2. 	var headers = document.getElementsByTagName("h1");//grab all h1's
  3. 	for(i=0; i<headers.length; i++) {//loop through the h1's
  4. 	var elem = getNextElement(headers[i].nextSibling);//look for the next sibling of the h1
  5.  
  6. 	//apply these styles to the selected elements
  7. 	elem.style.color = "red";
  8. 	elem.style.backgroundColor = "black";
  9. 	}
  10. }
  11. //getNextElement function
  12. function getNextElement(node) {
  13. 	if(node.nodeType == 1){
  14. 		return node;
  15. 		}
  16. 	if(node.nextSibling) {
  17. 		return getNextElement(node.nextSibling)
  18. 		}
  19. 	return null;
  20. }
