jQuery: find overlapping elements between two result sets

Question

If I had two jQuery result sets, say

$("#someParent *")

and

$("#someElement").nextAll()

then how could I best get all the elements that occur in both result sets?

Answer 1

You can use filter():

var firstSet = $("#someParent *");
var secondSet = $("#someElement").nextAll();
var elementsInBothSets = firstSet.filter(secondSet);
