What isn't it doing that you'd like it to do?

Can you please provide more information about the "bug" that is on display here? A test case? Otherwise this ticket will be closed as invalid shortly.

Hi, the related scenario not working for me.

Below is my sample HTML to re-produce the issue.

Pls have the jquery.js files to run the script.

<html>

<head>

$(document).ready(function(){

$("#main").next(".buttons > .clickme").bind("click", function(){

alert("Works in jQuery 1.2.3");

// Not working in 1.4.2

});

$("#main ~ .buttons > .clickme").bind("click", function(){

alert("Works in jQuery 1.4.2");

});

</script>

</head>

<body>

</span>

<a class="clickme">Click Me</a><br>

</span>

</body>

</html>

As the original poster hasn't supplied a valid test case, I recreated one using the information provided and updated to use spans just in case sakthikumar (see above) also wanted to see how ID -> elem.className could be used:

You can also achieve what you were trying to do using .children() as per here:

Closing. Please feel free to re-submit your ticket if the issue persists.
