You're still using an ID that begins with (consists entirely of, in
this case) a digit. Change it to something like:
<tr id="TransNo1" class="row">
<td id="Sequence1" style="width: 80px;">1</td>
<td id="Account1" style="width: 85px;">400-04</td>
<td id="Reference1" style="width: 100px;">Ref2</td>
<td id="Journal1" style="width: 114px;">01</td>
<td id="Description1" style="width: 250px; text-align: left;">Desc2</
td>
<td id="Debit1" style="width: 124px; text-align: right;">100.00</td>
<td id="Credit1" style="width: 124px; text-align: right;border-
right: none;">.00</td>
</tr>
Of course, if you then want to get the digit from the ID of the TR
with class "clicked" for use elsewhere, you'll need to parse it out of
the string.
You didn't answer my question about the actual values you want to send
to the sever. For account, reference, and journal, do you want
"Account1", "Reference1", and "Journal1"? Or, do you really want to
send "400-04", "Ref2", and "01"?
In any case, it'd be more secure to just send just the database
primary key and have your server-side logic fetch the data you want to
edit. And, in that case, you could append the primary key to your TR
iD (eg. "TransNo_YOUR_PRIMARY_KEY_HERE"). But it's difficult to say
without knowing more about the server-side logic.
Also, you could probably get rid of the class "row", as all TRs are
rows by definition. You could change the CSS rule for class "row" to
match tr (of this particular table, perhaps) and keep the tr.alt rule.
