[jQuery] Re: Finding position among siblings

[Jonathan Sharp]

$('div').click(function() {
// Will give you the index out of just the DIV tags
var index = $(this).parent().find('> ' + this.tagName).index(this);

// Will give you the index out of all siblings
var index = $(this).parent().find('> *').index(this);
});

Cheers,
-Jonathan

Is there an efficient, cross browser jquery way to find a node's
position among it's siblings?

Ie if I have ten  nodes next to each other and the user clicks on
the third one, what's the best way to tell that it's the third one?

Thanks!
