Question

I think my scripting is pretty close, but I cannot seem to return anything.

I have two columns in a table, I would like to find a string in one, and then read down the row to find the contents of another.

I’ve given both of the columns individual class names, here is my script:

if ($("td.cellONE:contains('STRING')")) {
        var OutputCell = $(this).parents("tr").find(".cellONEa");
       console.log($(this).text());
       console.log(OutputCell.text());
      }
else {console.log("no");}
  });

Answer 1

this in your code refers to window object, you can use each method.

$(function(){
    $("td.cellONE:contains('STRING')").each(function(){
        var OutputCell = $(this).closest("tr").find(".cellONEa");        
        console.log($(this).text());
        console.log(OutputCell.text());
    });
})
