How to set table cell value using jquery

Question

I would like to set the value of all the cells of a table by iterating through them. Ideally I would like to access a Html table like an array i.e. $(\"#tbl\")[row][col]=\

Answer 1

If you simply want to assign a value to all the cells try this:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#tbl td").append("sdfasdf");
});

If you want to extract the cells as 2 dimensional array:

$(document).ready(function () {
    var rowsNcells = $.map($("#tbl tr"),
    function(el, ind){
        var row = [];
        $("td", el).each(function(){
            row.push(el);
        });
        return row;
    });
});

and then somewhere in the code.

$(rowNcells[1][2]).text("Something");
