getting the table row values with jquery

Try this:

jQuery('.delbtn').on('click', function() {
    var $row = jQuery(this).closest('tr');
    var $columns = $row.find('td');

    $columns.addClass('row-highlight');
    var values = "";

    jQuery.each($columns, function(i, item) {
        values = values + 'td' + (i + 1) + ':' + item.innerHTML + '<br/>';
        alert(values);
    });
    console.log(values);
});

DEMO

Give something like this a try:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#thisTable tr").click(function(){
        $(this).find("td").each(function(){
            alert($(this).html());
        });
    });
});​
