Question

I have a table row with 5 cells.

I want to click an image in the last cell, and get the text value from a radio button in the first cell.

Can somebody tell me jQuery command I need?

I’m currently doing it like :

// when the image is clicked

alert($(this)[0].parentElement.parentElement.children[0].childNodes[1].innerText);

but something tells me this is a bit too verbose to be correct.

any ideas?

Thanks

Dave

Markup would be good to know here, radio button: are there more than one? Just need the selected one if so? You might use the selectors like:
checked one:

$(this).parent().sibling('td').children('input:radio:checked').val();

first column checked one:

$(this).parent().sibling('td:first').children('input:radio:checked').val();
