I need to determine which element comes first in my markup, such as an ```input``` or ```select```. For example Test In this case, the ```input``` comes first in the DOM whereas Test in this case, ```select``` comes first. Any way to do this using jQuery? Thanks EDIT: Just to clarify, I don't want the very first element, I ONLY want to know if between the input and select element, which comes first. There could be other elements before the ```select``` and ```input``` elements.
