the previous sibling node as an element node, a text node or a comment node, while
previousElementSibling returns the previous sibling node as an element node (ignores text and comment nodes).
This property is read-only.
Tip: Use the
nextElementSibling property to return the next element of the specified
element.
Tip: Use the children
property to return any child element of a specified element.
