Yes, you're quite right. I missed out the h3's initially, then added
them back in without thinking!
It should have been something like...
var cols = $('#dsViewport').find('div.column');
$('#dsViewport h3').each(function(){ // assuming you want the h3?
var numPrecedingColumns =
cols.index( $(this).next().get(0) );
// ..... do whatever .....
});
If you can have something other than a div.column following an h3 then
you'll need to change the next().
