Select the children of a sibling with a single expression in jQuery
<p>Is it possible to select the children of a sibling of the current context in jQuery using a single expression similar to this?</p>

<pre><code>$('~ div &gt; span', this)
</code></pre>

<p>Unfortunately this does not work for me so I don't believe jQuery supports this type of chaining in an expression. I was however able to get the following to methods to work:</p>

<pre><code>$('&gt; span', $('~ div', this))


$(this).siblings('div').children('span')
</code></pre>

<p>So in summary I am looking for a way to get the children of a sibling using the following API call, or for an explanation on why it is not possible:</p>

<pre><code>jQuery( expression, context )
</code></pre>
