Hi there,

I have multiple lists with the same class.

I'd like to loop each list and its LI's and prepend the current number before each. The current code I have is:

$jQuery(".numberList li").each(function(i) {

    var index = i + 1;

    $jQuery(this).prepend("<span>" + index + "</span>");

});

The problem is, is that the index doesn't restart back at 0 for each list it goes through, it just keeps going up. For example, the output I get now is:

First list
1. item
2. item
3. item

Second list
4. item
5. item
6. item

Second list should start at 1 again by having the index back at 0.

Could someone point out where I'm going wrong? I'm not a jQuery expert or anything...clearly :)

Many thanks, Michael.
