DOM Navigation without jQuery

Text nodes can be painful when navigating the DOM. Let's disregard them without jQuery!

function getNextSibling(el) {
 el = el.nextSibling;
 while (el) {
 if (el.nodeType !== 3) {
 return el;
 }
 el = el.nextSibling;
 }
}

This will let you get the next sibling of the element you grabbed without worrying about text nodes.
