Are you trying to get the index of an element that matches a certain ID?
What about this? I'd have to see your html to test and make sure it works.
Html would be something like this:
<div id="tabcontainer">
<div id="tab1" class="tab">
Tab1
</div>
<div id="tab2" class="tab">
Tab2
</div>
<div id="tab3" class="tab">
Tab3
</div>
</div>
Code would be something like this:
function getIndexForId(searchId){
var index = -1 //if function returns -1, then tab wasn't found
$("#tabcontainer .tab").each(function(){
if ("#" + searchId == $(this).attr("id")){
index = $("#tabcontainer .tab").index(this);
}
});
Return index
}

Hi:
I found a solution. It could be improved, but so far it's working,
maybe someone can find it useful:
function getIndexForId( tabsDivId, searchedId )
{
var index = -1;
var i = 0, els = $("#" + tabsDivId).find("a");
var l = els.length, e;
while ( i < l && index == -1 )
{
e = els[i];
if ( "#" + searchedId == $(e).attr('href') )
{
index = i;
}
i++;
};
return index;
}
Bye.
