<p class="desc"><strong>Description: </strong>Get all preceding siblings of each element in the set of matched elements, optionally filtered by a selector.</p>
<ul class="signatures"><li class="signature" id="prevAll-selector">
<h4 class="name">

<p class="arguement"><strong>selector</strong>A string containing a selector expression to match elements against.</p>
</li></ul>
<div class="longdesc">
<p>Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the <code>.prevAll()</code> method searches through the predecessors of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements; the elements are returned in order beginning with the closest sibling.</p>
<p>The method optionally accepts a selector expression of the same type that we can pass to the <code>$()</code> function. If the selector is supplied, the elements will be filtered by testing whether they match it.</p>
<p>Consider a page with a simple list on it:</p>
<pre>
<ul>
<li>list item 1</li>
<li>list item 2</li>
<li class="third-item">list item 3</li>
<li>list item 4</li>
<li>list item 5</li>
</ul>
</pre>
<p>If we begin at the third item, we can find the elements which come before it:</p>
<pre>$('li.third-item').prevAll().css('background-color', 'red');</pre>
<p>The result of this call is a red background behind items 1 and 2. Since we do not supply a selector expression, these preceding elements are unequivocally included as part of the object. If we had supplied one, the elements would be tested for a match before they were included.</p>
</div>

<div class="entry-examples" id="entry-examples"><div id="example-0">
<h4><span class="desc">Locate all the divs preceding the last div and give them a class.</span></h4>
