Question

I would like to select with jQuery all td elements of a table given in myT variable. I do not want to select tds from inner tables. I need a cross-browser solution and it should work with thead, tbody and without them.

So I would like a sum of:

myT.find(">tbody>tr>td");
myT.find(">thead>tr>td");
myT.find(">tr>td"); // is this necessary?
// is there something missing?

Answer 1

this might do it:

myT.find('>*>tr>td, >tr>td');
