Find position <li>

Question

I am trying to find the position of Test3 in jquery, can someone lead me on the right path, please.

I need jquery to display 5

<ul id="numeric" class="sortable boxier" style="margin-right: 1em;"> <li>Test7</li> <li>Test2</li> <li>Test6</li> <li>Test5</li> <li>Test3</li> <li>Test8</li> </ul> 

thanks

Answer 1

 $('li:contains(Test3)').index() 

Note that this uses 0-based indexing, so it actually displays 4. You can add 1 if you want to start your score with 1.
