JQuery nextUntil, including, not excluding the matched element

jqueryjquery-traversing

Is there a way to easily do nextUntil, so that the element matched by the selector is included? I have this, which is only fine if there is a previous sibling:

$("#content").find("h3:first").prev().nextUntil("ul:last").wrapAll("<div id='collapse'></div>");

Remove .prev(), replace .nextUntil with .nextAll and use .addBack() at the end of your selector as shown below:

$("#content").find("h3:first").nextAll("ul:last").addBack().wrapAll("<div id='collapse'></div>");

Pre 1.8 should use andSelf instead of addBack

Javascript – n “exists” function for jQuery

In JavaScript, everything is 'truthy' or 'falsy', and for numbers 0 means false, everything else true. So you could write:

if ($(selector).length)

You don't need that >0 part.

Javascript – How to check if an element is hidden in jQuery

Since the question refers to a single element, this code might be more suitable:

// Checks CSS content for display:[none|block], ignores visibility:[true|false]
$(element).is(":visible");

// The same works with hidden
$(element).is(":hidden");

It is the same as twernt's suggestion, but applied to a single element; and it matches the algorithm recommended in the jQuery FAQ.

We use jQuery's is() to check the selected element with another element, selector or any jQuery object. This method traverses along the DOM elements to find a match, which satisfies the passed parameter. It will return true if there is a match, otherwise return false.
