jQuery provides methods to traverse the DOM tree, including .parent(), .children(), .siblings(), and .find().

These methods help you navigate and manipulate elements based on their relationships.

jQuery traversing methods are powerful for complex DOM manipulation.

Exercise

Use jQuery traversing methods to find and manipulate related elements.

$(document).ready(function() {
  // Find parent and add class
  $('.child').parent().addClass('parent-highlight');
  
  // Find all children and change their color
  $('.parent').children().css('color', 'blue');
  
  // Find siblings and hide them
  $('.target').siblings().hide();
  
  // Find specific elements within a container
  $('.container').find('input[type="text"]').css('background-color', 'lightyellow');
});
