Question

I need to set the input value using the following way

<table width="50%" border="0" id="pls-batting">
    <tr id="1">
        <td>
            <input name="in" type="text" value="5">
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr id="2">
        <td>
            <input name="in" type="text" value="">
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

value = $("table#pls-batting tr:nth-child(1) td:nth-child(1)").children().val();        

When I alert the value it returns ‘5’. It is well and good. Similarly I need to set the value to input field for the 2nd row. I use the following code

$("table#pls-batting tr:nth-child(2) td:nth-child(1)").children().val='test';   

But it is not working. Is there any way to set the value using the children() method or by using row ID?

Answer 1

Try this…

$("table#pls-batting tr:nth-child(2) td:nth-child(1)").children().val('test');

or you can try some other way

$("table#pls-batting tr:eq(1) td:eq(0)").children().val('test');
