I don't think ur selector is right for selecting the 2nd row, 3rd column.
It most probably is
returning you more elements depending on the number of rows u have.
Eg: if you have 3 rows in your table, then it should return, 1 tr and
3 td's each representing the 3rd column in every row.
I would use $("td:eq(2)", $("tr:eq(1)"))
