Question

So I need to find an element in an iframe that is the exact same element of that that is in the webpage (the iframe is of the same page). I need to figure out what the index is of the elements without id’s with jquery so I can get the same element in an iframe.

Edit: How can I find the index of an element?

i.e. for this html:

<div>
    <a>1</a>
    <a>2</a>
    <a>3</a>
    <a id="someA">4</a>
    <a>5</a>
    <a>6</a>
    <a>7</a>
</div>

How would I find the index (so I can it by doing $('a')[index]) of one of the random anchor elements from it’s jQuery object?

(By doing $('#someA').siblings()[Math.floor(Math.random()*6)].getIndex())

Alright this is it: http://jsfiddle.net/dan_barzilay/ZB2vE/

But you got the function all wrong.. i suggest that you will learn about: .get() and .index()

*notice that i havn’t used any native javascript. it’s no need when you have the wonderfull jQuery 🙂

**I changed this line: $(elem).html(c); to this: $(elem).html(h); because i thought you ment to do it with h if not simply change the h with an c

Good Luck!
