Channeling my youngest kid:

butbutbut ... you *told* me I could use *either* of them ... sniff

My reasoning was that after looking at both implementations, I decided
to go with the shorter :-)

if that's the purpose, why not call it #nextActionIndex?

... and it does, great!

This means I'll skip the general javascript and give the jQuery docs
a thorough reading instead. Looking at the implementation of 
evaluateAnchorAction led me to my erroneous belief.

    evaluateAnchorAction: function(anchor) {
        var actionUrl = jQuery(anchor).attr('href');
        this.evaluateAction(actionUrl);
    },

hmmm.... final question: How would I do this without putting an anchor
into my page? I guess I'd have to do some work to gather the expected
session tokens and whatever else is required?
