Basic Issue: Can you use a variable in place of the index in functions like :nthchild() and :eq() and if so, how?
Detailed description: I'm new to jquery and am trying to create an image viewer. I've marked it up and used jquery so that when you click on a thumbnail image, jquery returns the order of the thumbnail (1,2,3..) as a variable. I was hoping that I could use this variable as the parameter for :nthchild to select the corrisponding image from a list of images (1,2,3...). The goal is to be able to return the corrisponding image's offset and manipulate it. The thumbnail variable is returning properly, but I can't seem to select the corresponding image. I've noticed that :nthchild() and eq() require an "index". Does this mean I can't insert a variable there? Any help would be appreciated. I could paste some code, but since this is a just a pet project, I will probably have to clean it up a bit first :) Thanks! Matt
