To get a value of a TD using JQuery

Answer 1

the TD ID is going to be unique be it in any table. It is not right to have two tables with TD ID's same in both tables. Therefore if you feel then append the table id for the TD ID like so: (and then use the answers above)

 <table id="test1">
    <tr>
    <th>
    </th>
    <td id="test1_row1">hello</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <th>
    </th>
    <td id="test1_row2">world</td>
    </tr>
 </table>

does this help?

Answer 2

Use text() instead of val()

var r = $("#row2").text();

More Info:

• .text()

Answer 3

    <table>
<tr>
    <td class="tdcls">1</td>
    <td class="tdcls">2</td>
    <td class="tdcls">3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="tdcls">4</td>
    <td class="tdcls">5</td>
    <td class="tdcls">6</td>
</tr>                   

jquery code to select particular td value

$(".tdcls").mouseenter(function(){
    var a = $(this).text();
});
