[jQuery] manipulate the next element with a class

[jQuery] manipulate the next element with a class


Is there a non-structure specific way of finding the next element with
a given class? for example you have a structure of:
<div id="container1">
<a href="#" class="link1">link</a>
<div class="a1">asdf</div>
</div><!-- #container1 -->
<div id="container2">
<a href="#" class="link1">link</a>
<div class="a1">ghjl</div>
</div><!-- #container2 -->
<div id="container3">
<a href="#" class="link1">link</a>
<div class="a1">qwer</div>
</div><!-- #container3 -->
When you click on the link in container1 the expected behavior is to
change the css on a1 in container2 but not in container1 or
container3. I have tried playing with parent, next and filter without
success. this is the best I have is:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".link1").click(function(){
$(".a1").css({"visibility":"hidden"}); //hides all a1's but keeps
the space
});
});
