jquery select elements between two elements that are not siblings
- by naugtur
eg. [I've removed attributes, but it's a bit of auto-generated html]
<img class="p"/>
<div> hello world
<p>
<font><font size="2">text.<img class="p"/>
some text</font></font>
</p>
<img class="p"/>
<p> <font><font size="2">more text<img class="p"/>
another piece of text
</font></font>
</p><img class="p"/> some text on the end
</div>
I need to apply some highlighting with backgrounds to all text that is between two closest [in the html code] img.p elements when hovering first of them. I have no idea how to do that. Lets say I hover the first img.p - it should highlight hello world and text. and nothing else.
And now the worst part - I need the backgrounds to disappear on mouseleave.
I need it to work with any HTML mess possible. The above is just an example and structure of the documents will differ.
[tip. Processing the whole html before binding hover and putting some spans etc. is ok as long as it doesn't change the looks of the output document]
