select first element with specific css class

Question

If I have following html structure

<div class="col-lg-3 form-group">
    <input id="My_Value" class="form-control ui-autocomplete-input" type="text" value="" name="My.Value" autocomplete="off" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="right" data-original-title="Choose!">
    <span class="field-validation-valid" data-valmsg-replace="true" data-valmsg-for="My.Value"></span>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-1">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span>
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></span>
    <a class="" title="some title">
</div>

When traversing dom if I know My_Value how can I select glyphicon-ok. Worth to mention is there are many elements with glyphicon-ok class and I want to select only this first after My_Value selector.

Just answer

var span_glyphicon_ok  = $('#My_Value').parent().next().find('.glyphicon-ok:first');

parent() => for getting parent div of My_Value

next() => for getting next element of above div.

find() => find glyphicon-ok by class selector

Try:

You can first use .parent() to get parent of My_Value then go to .next() element and find glyphicon-ok element inside it.

$("#My_Value").parent("div").next().find(".glyphicon-ok:first")

In this Structure, your main DIV is col-lg-1 so you have just focus on that particular DIV.

<div class="col-lg-1">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span>
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></span>
    <a class="" title="some title">
</div>

you just want to pick first glyphicon from col-lg-1 so the process will be like below. and just add one class in the same div which has already class col-lg-9 like col-lg-9 glyphicon-wrapper.

.col-lg-9.glyphicon-wrapper > .glyphicon:first-of-type {
    /* Your CSS code will be here */
}

:first-of-type will be pick first glyphicon from the parent div.
