title: nth selector jquery displaying nth value
body: <p>I want to be able to choose an nth child from a list of spans and display their nth value (or position) on button click.</p>
  
  <p>So if I have:</p>
  
  <pre><code>item a
  item b
  item c
  item d
  item e
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on button press I want it to display: </p>
  
  <pre><code>1 item a
  2 item b
  3 item c
  4 item d
  5 item e
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is this possible and if so how? </p>
  
  <p>The HTML (from answer below)</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="items"&gt;item a&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="items"&gt;item b&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="items"&gt;item c&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="items"&gt;item d&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class="items"&gt;item e&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
