How to select consecutive elements that match a filter
<p>Given this example:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;img class="a" /&gt;
&lt;img /&gt;
&lt;img class="a" /&gt;
&lt;img class="a" id="active" /&gt;
&lt;img class="a" /&gt;
&lt;img class="a" /&gt;
&lt;img /&gt;
&lt;img class="a" /&gt;
</code></pre>

<p><em>(I've just used img tags as an example, that's not what it is in my code)</em></p>

<p>Using jQuery, how would you select the img tags with class "a" that are adjacent to #active (the middle four, in this example)?</p>

<p>You could do it fairly easily by looping over all the following and preceding elements, stopping when the filter condition fails, but I was wondering if jQuery could it natively?</p>
