[jQuery] access table row[y] cell[x]

[JAS]

I am (very) new to jQuery, and I have what I think must be a simple
question.

Without jQuery, I would write:

var oCell = document.getElementById('myTable').rows[5].cells
[2].innerHTML = "something new";

but I do not understand how to write this same line in jQuery.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
