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]=\

var tr = 1;
$('table tr').each(function(){
    var td = 1;
    $(this).find('td').each(function(){
        $(this).append(' | TR : ' + tr + ' TD : ' + td );
         td++;
    });
    tr++;
});

Iterates through all the TD's so you know which you're in. You can also just use $('table tr td').append() if it's a static append.
