[jQuery] calculating eq from index

[paul]

hi,
i have some images in a table.
could the following be in the right direction of accessing the
surrounding images of the one that gets
hovered?

$('.someclassname').hover(function(){
        $('#somediv img:eq( (index(this))-1) ).animate({ width: "50px",
height: "50px" }, 500 );
        },
        function () {
        });
