.index() is driving me nuts, and I'm trying to figure out if there's an
obvious solution to what I'm trying to do, or if I'm missing something
in the API.
Let's say I have the following:
<div name="list">
<div class='list_item'>
<input type='hidden' name='id[]' value='1'>
// interface
</div>
<div class='list_item'>
<input type='hidden' name='id[]' value='2'>
// interface
</div>
<div class='list_item'>
<input type='hidden' name='id[]' value='3'>
// interface
</div>
<div class='list_item'>
<input type='hidden' name='id[]' value='4'>
// interface
</div>
</div>
How do I determine the current element position of a particular
list_item in that container, using jQuery?
Using .index(), it seems like this should work:
// div i want to find
id = 3;
// get the element i want to move
var curr_obj = $("[EMAIL PROTECTED]'id[]'[EMAIL
PROTECTED]'"+id+"']").parent().get();
// determine its current location within the set of list_items
var old_pos = $("#list").index(curr_obj);
...or a number of other combinations I've tried, and none of them can
get anything but -1 from .index().
What am I doing wrong here?
- Does .get() really return an element object? (It seems to.)
- What kind of object is .index() looking for?
