Ah, one problem Karl. Thanks again for your help though there's just
one thing that I don't really understand.
I was attempting to use such a selector in a site-wide $
(document).ready() context. Hence this applies to all tables which is
problematic.
Hence initially I was attempting the equivalent (using your example)
of:
$('.relevantTableClass td:nth-child(2)').css('textAlign', 'center');
and I've tried this again just now but it fails.
Should a similar syntax be possible?
The following works:
$('#relevantTableId td:nth-child(2)').css('textAlign', 'center');
however a class-based solution would work better for me. Is this
possible?
Thanks
