Get siblings between 2 elements

Question

How can I get the elements between 2 other elements?

Like if I had:

<div class="c1"></div>
<div class="c2"></div>
<div class="c3"></div>
<div class="c4"></div>
<div class="c5"></div>
<div class="c6"></div>
<div class="c7"></div>

I want to get the elements between div.c3 and div.c6.

Answer 1

With nextUntil ^[docs]:

var $siblings = $('.c3').nextUntil('.c6');

Answer 2

You might want to first check if elements come in the proper order, othenwise nextUntil will return unexpected set of elements.

/**
 * Returns an array of sibling elements between `from` and `to` including `from` and `to`
 */
function getElementsInBetween (from, to) {
        var range = [];

        if (from.index() > to.index()) { //ensure that 'from' is before 'to'
            from = [to, to = from][0]; //swapping from and to
        }

        if (from.is(to)) {
            range = [from];
        } else {
            range = from.nextUntil(to).add(from).add(to);
            range = $.makeArray(range);
        }

        return range;
    };
