How do I select the next “n” elements starting from the current element in jQuery?

Question

How do I select the next \"n\" elements starting from the current element? What I mean is...

 $(this).attr(...);

I want to do this \"n\" times

Answer 1

This should work:

$(this).nextAll().slice(0,4).attr(…)

Update:

This will work, too:

$(this).nextAll("*:lt(4)").attr(…)

Answer 2

$(this).slice(start_index, end_index) will select a portion of your selection. You could keep track of your current index in the loop and then apply the .slice(cur_index, cur_index+n) function on the original set when you hit your condition.

Answer 3

the nextAll method selects the following siblings of an element, optionally filtered by a selector. You could then follow that with a slice to restrict to a smaller n.
