I'm trying to get a location of an element in a jQuery set.

I want to be able to do something like this:

$('ul').find('a').indexOf('.active');

And get the location of the .active in the set of a's.

Is there something like an indexOf() function for jQuery? The index() method doesn't work

if you pass a jQuery set ($searchFor) as an argument to the index method of another jQuery set ($searchIn) i.e.

$searchIn.index($searchFor)

it will return the index of $searchFor in the set $searchIn

In your example:

$('ul a').index($('ul a.active'));
