Question

I have a table in html. Some cells is bold and some is normal. How I can check if some cell is bold (for example i,j) and get text of that cell without tag .

Cells can have only text. If it bold – it should contain tag <b>. For example:

<tr>
<td>
Not bold text
</td>
<td>
<b> Bold text </b>
</td>
</tr>

PS I can’t use class or id properties.
PSS It would be better without jQuery code, we are not using it for now

See this answer how to get a reference to the cell: https://stackoverflow.com/a/3052862/34088

You can get the first child with cell.firstChild. This gives you a text node or a <B> node. You can check this with the node.nodeType which is 1 for DOM nodes or 3 for text nodes. Which gives:

function isBold(table, rowIdx, columnIdx) {
    var row = table.rows[rowIdx];
    var cell = row.cells[columnIdx];
    var node = cell.firstChild;
    if( node.nodeType === 3 ) {
        return false;
    }

    return node.nodeName === 'b' || node.nodeName === 'B';
}
