How can I determine the index of an <input> element inside the form...

Why do I want to do this?

It'll help me give error codes in the backend and using the error code, I can use JQuery to automatically update the error message beneath the form <input> field using <small> tag (used for errors in zurb-foundation) and make same code scalable to all pages.

Obviously, I'll design error codes in the backend according to the place value in question...

Answer 1

Use selector1.index(selector2), e.g.

$('#myform input').index($('#myinput'))
