Hello..please help me with my problem since Im new in using

I have this table that has rows and columns.
When i click the value of the cell, it will return
the values of the cells of the same row.

Example

<TABLE>
 <TR>
  <TD>xyz</TD>
  <TD>xxx</TD>
 </TR>
 <TR>
  <TD>abc</TD>
  <TD>aaa</TD>
 </TR>
</TABLE>
 

So if I click cell with xyz value, it should return xyz and xxx values.

Im thinking of using onClick in TD tag then get the values as arguments
for the function.

 
<TD onClick="GetVal(this);">xyz</TD>
 

is this possible?

how can i manipulate the values sent to the function?

when you execute the function, you don’t get both values as parameters, but you can access them inside the function.

it’s probably easier to attach the handler to the table row.

// W3C
<tr onclick="alert(this.textContent)">
