get current position in list of inputs
<p>I want to get the value of the input and the position after they 'blur' the input.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;span id="blah"&gt;
    &lt;input type="text"&gt;a&lt;/input&gt;        
    &lt;input type="text"&gt;b&lt;/input&gt;        
    &lt;input type="text"&gt;c&lt;/input&gt;        
    &lt;input type="text"&gt;d&lt;/input&gt; 
    ...
&lt;/span&gt;

$('span input:text').live('blur', function(){

    var value = $(this).val();
}
</code></pre>

<p>so if they blur out of c i need it to return the value 'c' and the placement '3' in the list.</p>

<p>i cant change the HTML and the number of inputs may increase.</p>
