Getting td by index with jQuery
How about using the nth-child
selector?
http://api.jquery.com/nth-child-selector/
var row = 4;
var col = 2
var cell = $('table#tableId tr:nth-child(' + row + ') td:nth-child(' + col + ')');
Note that the child index is 1-based, rather than the more usual 0-based.
With plain JavaScript:
// table is a reference to your table
table.rows[rowIndex].cells[columnIndex]
Reference: HTMLTableElement
, HTMLTableRowElement
With jQuery, you could use .eq()
:
$('#table tr').eq(rowIndex).find('td').eq(columnIndex)
// or
$('#table tr:eq(' + rowIndex + ') td:eq(' + columnIndex + ')')
