You could use prevAll()

$('#myrow').prevAll().length;

I did a search but I could only find a selector that selected "after"
something:
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/siblings#prevsiblings
can help.

Maybe you can get the total rows count, subtract from the count from
prev ~ siblings (and probably subtract 1 also).
I hope that helps somewhat.

Oops, I misread. You wanted the count "before" the one you selected.
Please disregard my response!

Assuming "row" means the number of <tr>,
and your tables looks like:
<table>
     <tr><td>data</td></tr>
     <tr><td>data</td></tr>
     <tr><td>data</td></tr>
     <tr><td>data</td></tr>
     <tr><td>data</td></tr>
</table>

 you can do something like:
var count = $("table tr").length;

Hi,

I am selecting the row of a table. I would like to be able to count
how many rows there are in the table before the row I just selected. i
suppose there is a jQuery selector that will do this.

Thanks
