If you had a parent div nested inside another parent div and you
wanted to get the next sibling of the first one, you could filter the
parents() selector like so:
$(this).parents('div:first').next("div").toggle();
That will select the first div it finds as it goes from "this" up to
its parent and grandparent and great-grandparent and so on. Then from
there it will select the next sibling div.

Ok, I found the way, but I guess I need to understand more why it

<div>
<a href="">click</a>
</div>
<div> xxxx </div>
Solution is:
$(this).parents().next("div").toggle();
I used "parents" instead of "parent" because the real real html I am
using is:
<div>
<span>
<p><a href="#">click</a></p>
</span>
</div>
<div> xxxx </div>
So as far as I understood, "parents" give me a list of elements
ordered from the starting element to "html" and next "move me" to the
next element used as parameter ... Like if i Had another <div> after
<p> between the <span> I had to move to the .nextAll().eq(1) element,
the second <div> in the list returned by "parents" ..
Is that right thinking like this? :-) ..
Thanks for pointing me to the solution.
