I'm trying to access a td text value, as shown in the javascript below. The easiet way to solve this problem would be to give each td id value a unique identifier (i.e. td id="row1_col1") Is it possible to access the td element of a tr with a unique tr id tag without naming each td id uniquely? I'm new to this, I pasted the code as an example of what I'm trying to do. All the attempts in the javascript below failed.
<html> <head> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js";></script> </head> <body> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" border="1"> <tr id="row1"> <td id="col1">1</td> <td id="col2">2</td> </tr> <tr id="row2"> <td id="col1">3</td> <td id="col2">4</td> </tr> </table><br /> <script type="text/javascript"> str01 = $("#row1 > col1").text(); document.write("row1 col1 value is: " + str01 + "<br />"); str02 = $("#row1.col1").text(); document.write("row1 col1 value is: " + str02 + "<br />"); //str03 = $("#row1").("#col1").text(); //document.write("row1 col1 value is: " + str03 + "<br />"); //str04 = $("#col1").text(("#row1").text()); //document.write("row1 col1 value is: " + str04 + "<br />"); </script> </body> </html>
