Question

For example:

$('table tr').click( function(event) {    //Say, here i want get the data of td element where its class name='special' }); 

Is there any way I can select a element while in the click event, a element under the attached element above $('table tr')?

Answer 1

In this specific case, you can do this:

$('table tr').click( function(event) {    $(this).children('td.special').whatEverYouNeed(); }); 

Generally speaking, you need to use find():

$('table tr').click( function(event) {    $(this).find('td.special').whatEverYouNeed(); });
