Having a table like…

<table border="1" style="width: 100%" id="mytab1">
<tr id="A1">
    <td>100</td>
    <td>John</td>
    <td>Doe</td>
    <td>Someplace</td>
    <td>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </td>
</tr>
<tr id="A2">
    <td>101</td>
    <td>Jane</td>
    <td>Doe</td>
    <td>Someplace</td>
    <td>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </td>
</tr>

I’m trying to get the value of the first cell in a row, in which I’ve pressed the “Submit” button. I’m a newbie in this. This is an example, but I’m really working on a dynamically created html table in a jsp page, similar to this How to get cell data of specific row from the dynamically created HTML table? question. I just can’t get it working.

    This type of work javascript does very well.

    1. Change submit to buttons with handler;
    2. Put the handler into head

    The resulted code:

    <html>
<head>
<script>
function submitter(btn) {
    var param = btn.parentElement.parentElement.id;
    var myForm = document.forms["myForm"];
    myForm.elements["param"].value = param;
    myForm.submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="#someurl" id="myForm">
<input type="hidden" name="param" />
<table border="1" style="width: 100%" id="mytab1">
<tr id="A1">
    <td>100</td>
    <td>John</td>
    <td>Doe</td>
    <td>Someplace</td>
    <td>
        <input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="submitter(this)" />
    </td>
</tr>
<tr id="A2">
    <td>101</td>
    <td>Jane</td>
    <td>Doe</td>
    <td>Someplace</td>
    <td>
        <input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="submitter(this)" />
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
</body>
</html>
