Here is one way - it will find the header (th) for any cell (td) given
that there are no merged cells and a single header row.
$('td').click(function(){
var col = $(this).prevAll().length;
var headerObj = $(this).parents('table').find('th').eq(col);
// A quick test!
alert("My cell header is called: " + headerObj.text());
});
