What unique identifier do these cells have? Do the cells have id's? $('#theid'). Do the rows have ids? $('#theid > td').get(1) will get you the second cell of the row with an id of 'theid', does the table have an id? $('#tableid > tbody > tr' > td) will return all of the tds in that table inside of trs that are inside of the tbody. Then, by saying value I think that you mean the text inside of that cell since cells do not have a 'value' attribute, and that would be obtained using
$('#tableid > tbody > tr' > td).each( function () { alert($(this).text()); // to get just the text alert($(this).html()); // to get the full html inside instead } ); Find more on selectors at: http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors and more on the .text() & .html() at: http://docs.jquery.com/Manipulation and more on the .get(1) at: http://docs.jquery.com/Core Cheers, Josh Powell On Mar 25, 1:27 pm, "webspee...@gmail.com" <webspee...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hey all. > > I have a table and I need to access the value of a particular cell in > the selected row.
