 * I have a widgetized footer and I want to be able to style every third widget 
   in the footer differently. I know I can use :nth-child(3n) in css but that won’t
   work in older browsers. Currently I’m using jquery to solve this.
 * However I am after a non-javascript solution, specifically getting the widgets
   to output class names based on their position, widget-1, widget-2 etc.
 * Is this possible?

 *     ```
       $s = wp_get_sidebars_widgets();
           print_r($s);
       ```
   
 * That should give you an array of sidebars and their widgets. I haven’t checked
   carefully but it looks like the widgets are in order so you should be able to
   parse that to find you widget positions.
 *     ```
       print_r($args);
       ```
   
 * … will tell you which sidebar your widget is in, if you need that.
