Example 1
Using the index.html as the HTML document for this example, we first locate the <form> tag and collect all the elements after it with find_all_next() method.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
fp = open("index.html")
soup = BeautifulSoup(fp, ''html.parser'')
tag = soup.form
tags = tag.find_all_next()
print (tags)
Output
[<input id="nm" name="name" type="text"/>, <input id="age" name="age" type="text"/>, <input id="marks" name="marks" type="text"/>]
Example 2
Here, we apply a filter to the find_all_next() method to collect all the tags subsequent to <form>, with id being nm or age.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
fp = open("index.html")
soup = BeautifulSoup(fp, ''html.parser'')
tag = soup.form
tags = tag.find_all_next(id=[''nm'', ''age''])
print (tags)
Output
[<input id="nm" name="name" type="text"/>, <input id="age" name="age" type="text"/>]
Example 3
If we check the tags following the body tag, it includes a <h1> tag as well as <form> tag, that includes three input elements.
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
fp = open("index.html")
soup = BeautifulSoup(fp, ''html.parser'')
tag = soup.body
tags = tag.find_all_next()
print (tags)
Output
<h1>TutorialsPoint</h1> <form> <input id="nm" name="name" type="text"/> <input id="age" name="age" type="text"/> <input id="marks" name="marks" type="text"/> </form> <input id="nm" name="name" type="text"/> <input id="age" name="age" type="text"/> <input id="marks" name="marks" type="text"/>
