fixing issue#422 on wrong output in newer jQuery versions

[a14m]

the output of the .index() will vary in versions greater than 1.8.3

as the code in version 1.8.3 changed from

        // Determine the position of an element within
    // the matched set of elements
    index: function( elem ) {

        // No argument, return index in parent
        if ( !elem ) {
            return ( this[0] && this[0].parentNode ) ? this.prevAll().length : -1;
        }

        // index in selector
        if ( typeof elem === "string" ) {
            return jQuery.inArray( this[0], jQuery( elem ) );
        }

        // Locate the position of the desired element
        return jQuery.inArray(
            // If it receives a jQuery object, the first element is used
            elem.jquery ? elem[0] : elem, this );
    },

to

        // Determine the position of an element within
    // the matched set of elements
    index: function( elem ) {

        // No argument, return index in parent
        if ( !elem ) {
            return ( this[0] && this[0].parentNode ) ? this.first().prevAll().length : -1;
        }

        // index in selector
        if ( typeof elem === "string" ) {
            return jQuery.inArray( this[0], jQuery( elem ) );
        }

        // Locate the position of the desired element
        return jQuery.inArray(
            // If it receives a jQuery object, the first element is used
            elem.jquery ? elem[0] : elem, this );
    },

in version 1.9.0b1 and newer versions
