Get the Id of the element if only it exists! I've added the if condition for that. 

function editMediaInfo(mediaID){
var nex =   document.getElementById(mediaID).nextElementSibling.nextElementSibling;
var nextId="";
if(nex!=null){
  nextId=nex.id;
  alert(nextId);
}
else{
alert("no next element");
}
console.log(nextId);
}
