Hmmm. That's not a documented function. I had a look at the source,
and I can't see how it works. It accepts a node as its only argument,
and it doesn't seem to perform any comparison as it executes. How then
would I get it to stick to just the one type of sibling, and how would
I get it
I whipped up something that should
handle the task, although I'm sure this could be optimized using the
nextElementSibling. This version grabs nextSiblings() and then filters
them, but the faster way would be to iterate over the
`element.nextSibling`
and break when it encounters a different tag
Thanks very much. I was looking in the wrong place for the
functionality I need. You've given me the bones I need to build on.

Hi Walter, if you want to get all similar elements up to but not including
the next head, I would use Prototype's Element.nextSiblings() to loop
through all elements with the same tagName and break when the tagName is
different. Here is a function I created just now that would hopefully do
what
Paul, one recommendation: store the results of element.nextSiblings() in a
local variable outside of the loop. DOM traversals are pretty slow.
Best,

Hi Alex, thanks for the tip. I've modified the function based on your tip
and your example function:
function consecutiveSameTagSiblings(element) {
var element = $(element);
var nextSiblings = element.nextSiblings();
var similarElements = [];
