[jQuery] finding eq index of clicked element

[jQuery] finding eq index of clicked element


Hi,
I'm trying to find the index of a click element
this doesn't work (specifically the eq part, rest is fine)
this.children("a").click(function() {
var eq = $(this).eq();
console.log(eq);
$(this).parents(".thumbnails").children(".current").animate({left:
""+eq*currentSlide+"px"},opts.fadeOut);

return false;
});
how would I find the index, as this is returning nothing.
