jQuery position() Method The position() method returns the position (relative to its parent element) of the first matched element. This method returns an object with 2 properties; the top and left positions in pixels.
Definition and Usage. The :eq() selector selects an element with a specific index number. The index numbers start at 0, so the first element will have the index number 0 (not 1). This is mostly used together with another selector to select a specifically indexed element in a group (like in the example above).
$('li:contains(Test3)').index()
Note that this uses 0-based indexing, so it will actually display 4. You can add 1 if you want to start your count at 1.
