Assume I identified a certain element.

Now I want to remove ALL following elements. I can do this with

The problem is, that this removes only elements on the same hierarchy level (=brothers).

Ok, I could go one step upwards:

1. $(".foobar"):parent().nextAll().remove();

But maybe there a many (unknown) parents() of parents().

I want to get rid of all the stuff which follows the referred element regardless of the hierarchy level.

How can I achieve this?
