Question

I have a reference to a XML node which is part of a bigger XML tree. Is there a way to get that elements next/previous sibling without accessing the parent and looking for it? Something like DOM s nextSibling would be what I look for.

edit: Given that there is no natural way to do this with E4X, I ll just stick to the following (except that in my case, I ll store the actual index somewhere instead):

// next sibling:
node.parent().children()[ node.childIndex() + 1 ]
// previous sibling:
node.parent().children()[ node.childIndex() - 1 ]

Answer 1

I don t see any such methods in ECMA-357, 2nd edition. Moreover, "sibling" doesn t seem to appear anywhere in my copy of the standard. If any such methods exist, they exist because Adobe added them as extensions to the spec.

Answer 2

Is this what you are looking for?
