    $(document).ready(function(){

    //use this if you have jquery version 1.7+
      $('table#tab tr').on('click',function(){
          alert($(this).find('td:first').text());

    });
    //normal way
  $('table#tab tr').click(function(){
          alert($(this).find('td:first').text());

    });
//delegation

$('body').delegate('table#tab tr','click',function(){
          alert($(this).find('td:first').text());

    });

//use any of these three methods

    });
