Thank you so much! Really helped me.
I have one question, i'm learning jQuery and i can't deduce what is the function of the idx (index?) parameter. Regards

@diegooCF yes idx is how I abbreviate index. It is not used in this snippet, that's just how the callback for each is defined in jQuery, see https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.each/
