Question

I have got a problem where I need to access the <td> of <tr> using the jquery .eq() function. Below is the code mentioned please have a look.

var foundElement = 3;

var values = $(this).children("td:nth-child('" + foundElement + "')").map(function () {...

The above statement gives error for using “foundElement” as variable between the statement. Please give me a alternate solution or declaration for this.

Answer 1

You do not need the single quotes around the foundElement.

The selector should be:

td:nth-child(3)

or in the string with variable replacement as:

$(this).children("td:nth-child(" + foundElement + ")")...
