Question

I’m new to jQuery and I’m trying to select cells in an table. My table have, for example 3 cols with 3 cells each.

So I try to select the first cell of the first row, for example, like this:

$("#table tr:eq(0) td:eq(0)") 

But doesn’t works! What’s the right way to do this ?

Answer 1

Are you sure your table has an ID of table? Or should your selector not have the # in it.

If your table does not have an ID of table and you want to select by tagname, the selector of

$("table tr:eq(0) td:eq(0)");

should work. You can also write it in other ways, such as:

$("table tr:first td:first");

I think the issue might be that you’ve got an erroneous hash in there though 😉
