Question

No classes/id on table or plugins. Just simple table with 4 columns and 8 rows with some dummy values in it.

How can I get row values of 3rd column of a table.

anyone please write some jquery syntax.

Anyone know any online tutorial for table manipulation in jquery. No plugins?

Answer 1

<table>
<tr><td>One</td><td>Red</td></tr>
<tr><td>Two</td><td>Blue</td></tr>
<tr><td>Three</td><td>Green</td></tr>
</table>​

This will extract the values in the third table row element and put it into an array.

​$(document).ready(function() {
    var values = [];
    $('table tr:nth-child(3) td').each( function() {
        values.push($(this).html());
    });
    console.log(values);
}​);​
