Next-sibling combinator - CSS | MDN
Next-sibling combinator
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The next-sibling combinator (+) separates two selectors and matches the second element only if it immediately follows the first element, and both are children of the same parent element.
css
/* Paragraphs that come immediately after any image */
img + p {
font-weight: bold;
}
Syntax
css
/* The white space around the + combinator is optional but recommended. */
former_element + target_element { style properties }
Examples
Basic usage
This example demonstrates how to select the next sibling if that next sibling is of a specific type.
CSS
We only style the <li> that comes immediately after an <li> that is the first of its type:
css
li:first-of-type + li {
color: red;
font-weight: bold;
}
HTML
html
<ul>
<li>One</li>
<li>Two!</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ul>
Result
Selecting a previous sibling
The next-sibling combinator can be included within the :has() functional selector to select the previous sibling.
CSS
We only style the <li> with a next sibling that is an <li> that is the last of its type:
css
li:has(+ li:last-of-type) {
color: red;
font-weight: bold;
}
HTML
html
<ul>
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three!</li>
<li>Four</li>
</ul>
Result
