[jQuery] Re: REFACTOR: contents() with index() or indexOf()

Allright, so I guess manually going through the contents() array is
the only solution.
The only function that comes close to giving me the index is
jQuery.inArray() (it's really just the for loop that I'm doing with a
different condition), but it doesn't let me specify the id or the
className, so I'm out of luck.

Thanks anyway,

Nacho
