Question

i’ve looked in the manual to search for the next value in a table but the problem is that i’m in the first span cell ’cause of the event catch by :

jQuery code:

$('span[name="checkSeleccion"]').live('click',function(){       
    alert($(this).attr('id')+"::"+$(this).next('td').html());
});

HTML code:

<tbody>
    <tr>
    <td>
    <span id="606" class="checkboxClear" rel="606-null-335" name="checkSeleccion">&nbsp;</span>
    </td>
    <td style="padding-top:6px;">http://www.hithere.com</td>
    <td align="center" style="padding-top:6px;">335</td>
    </tr>
</tobdy>

is there a way to catch the second td value when the span is clicked?

Thanks.

You forgot to use .parent():

$('span[name="checkSeleccion"]').live('click', function() {       
  alert(this.id + "::" + $(this).parent().next('td').html());
});

Also note that $(this).attr('id') could be written as just this.id, which is much more efficient (and easier to type!).
