Version: v1.1, Last updated: 2/18/2010
jQuery Untils provides three very simple, but very useful methods: nextUntil, prevUntil, and parentsUntil. These methods are based on their nextAll, prevAll, and parents counterparts, except that they allow you to stop when a certain selector is reached. Elements are returned in "traversal order".
As of jQuery 1.4, these methods are now included in jQuery core! See the patch as well as the official documentation on the .prevUntil, .nextUntil and .parentsUntil methods.
Note that these methods take a less naïve approach than others bearing the same names, and are designed to actually return elements in traversal order, despite the element ordering flaws inherent in the jQuery 1.3.2 selector engine.
