Hey PD,
Not a problem at all. It was a fun diversion. :-) Glad you got it
working!

Hi Karl
I can't explain why but the code appears to be working as it should
now.
Rather strange but all is well that ends well.
Thanks again for your excellent, considered and patient help.

Hmmm. I'm not sure what could be causing the problem you're having
with classes.
I put together a simple test page using your code:> $
('.relevantTableClass td:nth-child(2)').css('textAlign', 'center');
inside $(document).ready
and it works for me as expected:http://test.learningjquery.com/nth-
child.html
Let me know if that helps you pinpoint any differences in your code
that might be causing the problem. Otherwise, if you could provide a
link to your page, that might help us troubleshoot.

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

If I understand your situation correctly, you might be looking
for :nth-child()
You could, for example, get the 2nd cell of each row this way:
$('td:nth-child(2)').css('textAlign', 'center');
Remember that nth-child() is the only jQuery selector that is 1-
based, because it's based solely on the CSS spec.
Cheers,

Hello
I've looked up
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors
and alas I can't determine if there is a way to select the x td
of all
rows of a table.
The use case is that i have a table for a forum and I'd like to
center
text-align the 'Topics' and 'Replies' totals columns.
Thanks
pd
