This works:

<a href="#/link1">link1</a>
<a href="#/link2">link2</a>
<a href="#/link3">link3</a>

$("a[href*='#/link1'").next('a[href*="#"]').click();

but this does not:

<a href="#/link1">link1</a><br>
<a href="#/link2">link2</a><br>
<a href="#/link3">link3</a><br>

$("a[href*='#/link1'").next('a[href*="#"]').click();

The above tests the "< br >" tag, not the next matching link.

How would I go about making it work in both situations. I want to select the next matching element, not the next element if it matches. Maybe .next() isn't the correct method?
