I have a list similar to below and would like to only select all of the elements after the #everything_after
element.
selects all the elements
$('#element *').attr('selected','selected');
You can use nextAll to get the following divs.
Try:
$("#everything_after").nextAll();
See: CSS3 General Siblings Selector
http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/generalsiblingselector
$("#everything_after ~ div")...
CASE-1: when the id=""
or the class=""
selector is known:
$("#everything_after").nextAll();
//selects any of the next sibling elements, like <div>, <p>, <i>... etc tags.
//--or--
$("#everything_after").nextAll("div");
//selects only the next sibling <div> tags;
CASE-2: when the index of the item is known:
$("#container > div:nth-child(6)").nextAll();
//--or--
$("#container > div:eq(5)").nextAll();
