How can I select a specific column in a row using jQuery and JavaScript?

Answer 1

something like

$('#mytable tr:eq(0) td:eq(1)').text('ChangedText');

will select the first row, second column (0 based) of the given element (TABLE). In your case, since you know the row id :

$('#mytable #element td:eq(1)').text('ChangedText');

or simply

$('#element td:eq(1)').text('ChangedText');
