Question

While selecting the desired element is simple in jQuery i haven’t found one way to receive an elements index
here’s an example of what I want:

$('#minia .holder a').click(function () {
})

This function is used to catch any clicks on one of those elements
to catch that specific element I use $(this) now my question is how would i get
$(this) index so i can then later use it like so $('#minia .holder a[index]').

Answer 1

well i solved it by doing like this

 $('#pic .control').click(function () { 
         var imgUrl = $('#view').attr("src");
         var indexLink = $('#minia .holder a').index(jQuery('#minia .holder a[href="'+imgUrl+'"]')) + 1;
         $('#minia .holder a:eq('+indexLink+')').click();
      })

even thought you guys answered my initial question this was the final one
