[jQuery] Current item child index ?

[jQuery] Current item child index ?


Hi folks
Just wondering if there's a quick/shorthand way of doing this:
I'm doing a navigation system where I want clickable items but I want to
put the "current item number" in a footer, e.g.
Any ideas of a quick way (without using each) to get "CURRENTSTEPNUMBER"
? Basically the reverse of nth-child ?
CODE OUTLINE (IF IT HELPS) :
<script>
$("#stepsList li").click(function() {
// load stepContent ===> not a problem
$("#stepFooter").html("Viewing step "+CURRENTSTEPNUMBER+" of
"+$("#stepsList li").length);
})
</script>
<h1>STEPS TO BE COMPLETED</h1>
<ul id="stepsList">
<li>step one</li>
<li>step two</li>
</li>step three<li>
</ul>
<div id="stepContent">
<div id="stepFooter">
</div>
</div>
