Basically doing that, though using eq rather than nth-child. However, I
can't seem to get eq or nth-child to take a variable.
When I do
var idxCol = 3;
jQuery("#myHeaders>th:eq(idxCol)").text();
it returns nothing, while
jQuery("#myHeaders>th:eq(3)").text();
returns the header
Same with nth-child (with nth-child removing the >th).
Am I missing something obvious?
