<div class="longdesc">
<p>Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the <code>.prevAll()</code> method allows us to search through the predecessors of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements.</p>
<p>The method optionally accepts a selector expression of the same type that we can pass to the <code>$()</code> function. If the selector is supplied, the elements will be filtered by testing whether they match it.</p>
<p>Consider a page with a simple list on it:</p>
<pre>
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;list item 1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;list item 2&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class="third-item"&gt;list item 3&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;list item 4&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;list item 5&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
</pre>
<p>If we begin at the third item, we can find the elements which come before it:</p>
<pre>$('li.third-item').prevAll().css('background-color', 'red');</pre>
<p>The result of this call is a red background behind items 1 and 2. Since we do not supply a selector expression, these preceding elements are unequivocally included as part of the object. If we had supplied one, the elements would be tested for a match before they were included.</p>

<h3>Example:</h3>
<div id="entry-examples" class="entry-examples"><div id="example-0">
<h4><span class="desc">Locate all the divs in front of the last div and give them a class.</span></h4>
<pre><code class="example demo-code">&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;

div { width:70px; height:70px; background:#abc;
border:2px solid black; margin:10px; float:left; }
div.before { border-color: red; }
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;script&gt;$("div:last").prevAll().addClass("before");&lt;/script&gt;
