unordered-list

Hi guys, I'm new here and I'd like to ask a question about jQuery.

I have the unordered list like:

<ul id="pages">
    <li class="something"><a href="#"></a></li>
    <li class="something"><a href="#"></a></li>
    <li class="something"><a href="#"></a></li>
</ul>

And I'd like to add a different ID to every li displayed in this <ul> (eg. <li class="something" id="li1">...). Is there a way how to achieve this via jQuery?

Thanks a lot, Jakub
