## Definition and Usage
The `prevUntil()` method returns all sibling elements between the `_selector_` and the `_stop_`.
Sibling elements are elements that share the same parent element.
**DOM Tree:** This method traverses backward through the sibling elements of a DOM element.
**Note:** If both parameters are empty, this method returns all sibling elements before the element (same as the [prevAll()](#) method).
Related methods:
- Returns the previous sibling element of the selected element
- Returns all sibling elements before the selected element

## Syntax
$(_selector_).prevUntil(_stop,filter_)
| Parameter | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| _stop_ | Optional. A selector expression, element, or jQuery object indicating where to stop searching for matching sibling elements before the element. |
| _filter_ | Optional. A selector expression that narrows the search for sibling elements between the `_selector_` and the `_stop_`. **Note:** To return multiple sibling elements, separate each expression with a comma. |
