How can I select all
elements that are placed immediately BEFORE
elements?

Question

We know that with div + p in CSS we can select all p elements placed immediately after div elements, but can we do the opposite?

Looks very similar to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/492786/css-selector-for-selecting-an-element-that-comes-before-another-element — Raibaz, Aug 28 '14 at 17:02

You can use the ~ selector. try p ~ div. See CSS Selector for more options.

If you can use JQuery, you can try $("div+p").prev() to get all the div placed immediately before a p
