Question

I have the following HTML table

<table>
<tr class="trSelected">
<td>One</td>
<td>two</td>
</tr>
</table>

I just want to get the text in the second column (ie,’two‘)

I tried

$('.trSelected td').eq(2).val()

but it returs an empty string
How it is possible through jQuery?

Answer 1

You should use the following construction:

$('.trSelected td').eq(1).text()

or

$('.trSelected td:eq(1)').text()

eq selector uses zero-based index. Also you have to use text method, not val.
