Question

I am pretty rubbish when it comes to jquery so im looking for a little help.

I have a table with a number of rows and 5 columns.
Column1 contains a checkbox and column 4 contains an empty TD. I have a textbox that I want to be able to add a comment into and for a button to be able to update any rows TD where the rows check box has been selected.

Getting the selected checkbox is easy enough but I dont really know how to update the TD.

Can anyone help out?

Thank you

<tr class="t-state-selected"><td>                
                <input name="checkedRecords" type="checkbox" value="e85b7931-1c62-11e1-8244-4040dde94e2e " title="checkedRecords">
            </td><td>Some info</td><td>ABC</td><td>&nbsp;</td><td>123</td><td></td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>

A an example of one of the tr in my table. I want to see if checkedRecords is seletected and if it is then add the value “Updated :)” into the last td.

You could add an id to all the cells you want to update. E.g.

<td id="col_0_row_0"></td>

In your jquery, check for the relevant checkbox for each row and update the td if required

$("#col_0_row_0").children().remove();
$("#col_0_row_0").append("Some Text");
