HTML "self-awareness" with sibling indexing in JavaScript

Read Original

This article explains a specific JavaScript technique for making HTML elements 'self-aware' of their position. It details how to get an element's parent, convert its children into an array, and find the element's index among its siblings. This is presented as a useful pattern for framework-less projects, with a practical example of buttons identifying their own index when clicked.
