I was looking into post Find the position of an element within a list, and Mr cletus mentioned that to get index we have to use
var index = $(this).parent().children().index(this);
HTML:
<ul>
<li>Element 1</li>
<li>Element 2</li>
<li>Element 3</li>
</ul>
My question is why $(this).index(this)
does not work(it always renders 0), whereas $(this).html()
renders proper html output. Can somebody explain?
