Get index of the element I clicked on relative to the jquery collection

Question

I have a fiddle here, very simple one.

http://jsfiddle.net/tnQne/

The js I have is here

$(\'section a\').on(\'click\', function() {
    alert         


        

Answer 1

lonesomeday has a good way to do it but another way is:

$('section a').on('click', function(e) {
    alert( $.inArray(e.target, $('section a')) );
});​
