how to get nested selectors in siblings

Question

I need to find the siblings of one element. The object I desire to get is nested input. The code belove navigates to td[2] where I need to do some comparison. Afterwords when the comparison is made I need to get to td[4] which contains input. I did try to use nextsibling function but something goes wrong:( Here is the image of html: HTML

var inputs = document.querySelectorAll("table.table.table-condensed.table-top-spacing tr td:nth-child(2)");
    inputs.forEach((input)=>{
        var final_input = input.find("input[name='quantity']");
        final_input.click;
    });

Answer 1

According to docs Using Node.nextSibling Node.firstChild or Node.previousSibling may refer to a whitespace text node rather than the actual element.

You can track the element's siblings with the example introduced in the MDN documentation here .

var el = input;
i = 1;

while (el) {
  if(el.nodeName ==="TARGET_ELEMENT")
      break;
  console.log(i, '. ', el.nodeName);
  el = el.previousSibling;
  i++;
}

I think the root cause of your problem is that find is not a method that exists on HTML elements. You might be mistaking it for JQuery.

Instead, you want to use parentElement.querySelector :

 const cells = document.querySelectorAll('table tr td:nth-child(2)'); cells.forEach(cell => { if (cell.textContent === '1') { const input = cell.parentElement.querySelector('input[name="quantity"]'); input.value = 'matched'; } })

 <table> <tr> <td>cell</td> <td>1</td> <td>input</td> <td><input type="text" name="quantity" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>cell</td> <td>0</td> <td>input</td> <td><input type="text" name="quantity" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>cell</td> <td>1</td> <td>input</td> <td><input type="text" name="quantity" /></td> </tr> </table>
