I have the following html table –

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td height=\'30\' bgcolor=\'#CCCACA\'>
<font size=2 face=\'Arial\' color=\'#000000\'><b>&nbsp;Property</b></font>
</td><td bgcolor=\'#CCCACA\'>
<font size=2 face=\'Arial\' color=\'#000000\'><b>&nbsp;Value</b></font>
</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\'white\' width=\'200\' height=\'20\'>
<font size=2 face=\'Arial\'>&nbsp;First Name</font>
</td><td bgcolor=\'white\' width=\'300\'>
<font size=2 face=\'Arial\'>&nbsp;John</font>
</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\'#F3EFEF\' width=\'200\' height=\'20\'>
<font size=2 face=\'Arial\'>&nbsp;Contact</font>
</td><td bgcolor=\'#F3EFEF\' width=\'300\'>
<font size=2 face=\'Arial\'>&nbsp;number</font>
</td></tr><tr><td bgcolor=\'white\' width=\'200\' height=\'20\'>
<font size=2 face=\'Arial\'>&nbsp;Last Name</font>
</td><td bgcolor=\'white\' width=\'300\'><font size=2 face=\'Arial\'>&nbsp;Smith</font>
</td></tr></tr></table>

I am looking to use a regular expression in Javascript to extract the number value out of this code. My problem being that before every value in the table the line of code –

<font size=2 face=\'Arial\'>&nbsp;

is present therefore I cannot localise to one value. However I do know that the number value will occur after every 6th instance of the aforementioned line. I am aware a regular expression could extract the values after &nbsp how ever not sure how to 1. Implement this and 2. Get to the 6th value.

EDIT

function showProperties2(){

var itemID = new String(objChart.getSelectedElements());
var props = new String(objChart.getItemsPropertyIDs(itemID));
var arrPropIDs = props.split(',');
var propertyHTML="<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td height='30' bgcolor='#CCCACA'><font size=2 face='Arial' color='#000000'><b>&nbsp;Property</b></font></td><td bgcolor='#CCCACA'><font size=2 face='Arial' color='#000000'><b>&nbsp;Value</b></font></td></tr>";
var bgcolor="#F3EFEF";
var i=0;
for(i=0;i<arrPropIDs.length;i++){
    if(objChart.getPropertyValue(itemID, arrPropIDs[i])!=""){
        if(bgcolor=="#F3EFEF"){
            bgcolor = "white";
        }else{
            bgcolor = "#F3EFEF";
        }
        propertyHTML+="<tr><td bgcolor='"+bgcolor+"' width='200' height='20'>";
        propertyHTML+= "<font size=2 face='Arial' class='quack'>&nbsp;"+objChart.getPropertyDisplayName(itemID, arrPropIDs[i])+"</font>";
        propertyHTML+="</td><td bgcolor='"+bgcolor+"' width='300'>";
        propertyHTML+= "<font size=2 face='Arial' class='quack2'>&nbsp;"+objChart.getPropertyValue(itemID, arrPropIDs[i])+"</font>";
        propertyHTML+="</td></tr>";
    }
}
propertyHTML+="</tr></table>";
propertyWindow(propertyHTML, "Properties");


}

The previous is how I construct my table.

    If you don’t mind using jQuery, this might work

    function getNumber(table) {
    // Set the variable, tableNumber to an error message of sorts
    var tableNumber = "No number found";
    // Loop through all cells
    $(table + ' td').each(function(){
        $(this).css('background', 'red');
        // Tell if a cell contains the text, '&nbsp;Contact'
        if ($(this).text().indexOf('Contact') != -1) {
            // set the variable tableNumber to the text of the next cell
            tableNumber = $(this).next().text();

        }
    });
        return tableNumber;


}

var report = getNumber('#number-table'); //for debugging

alert(report); //for debugging

    Then call the function like getNumber($(‘#table-id’)) or just getNumber($(‘table’)) if there’s no id and there’s only one table on the page.
