Try
$("#menu li.actif ~ li")
Translation:
Find an element with id menu (id by itself is faster than id with tag), then
find a descendent LI with class actif, and return the preceding element if
it is a LI.

Hello again,
I have written a simple menu in the most basic way i could: just an
unordered
list, with only the active tab getting a class="active".
I am adding the correct styles to the first and last tabs with the :first
and
:last selector. Works just fine.
The last thing i need is to be able to identify the tab that comes before
the
active tab, if any. I have tried the axis selector for the preceding
sibling
shown in the doc : $("//div ~ form")
However, that syntax is a bit foreign to me, and it unsurprisingly did not
work
when i adpated it like this :
$("//ul#menu li ~ .actif").addClass("preactif");
(To be more precise, i want to select the "ul#menu li" that comes right
before
the "ul#menu li.actif").
I have tried various combinations, but to no avail.
Help most welcome as always. Thanks!
