how to retrieve index Position of a <TD>

[syedshaffee]

hey people,

can someone please suggest me how to retrieve the value of the index position of <TD> at run time to be specific here is the code

$("#Table_Data tr").click(function(){
   $(this).find(':checkbox').attr('checked', ! $(this).find(':checkbox').attr('checked'));    
   if($(this).find(':checkbox').attr('checked'))
        {
              var index=$(this). 
              var html = '';
    html = $('#clickME td:eq(1)').text();//here i have defined it statically but it needs to be dynamic
    alert(html);
 
 
 
        }
        else
        {
            $(this).removeClass('highlight');
              $(this).addClass('evenrow');
        }
});

my problem:
1) the index value and the text of that index value of <TD> should be according to the users selection meaning i have added a check box in my table

how to apply the same

[Dormilich]

do I interpret it right that the desired number is the value of the checkbox?

[syedshaffee]

No,check value is not required i require the cell value of 2nd row

[Dormilich]

the index value [...] should be according to the users selection

so which is the user's selection then if not the checkbox value?

[syedshaffee]

for example take a google inbox page i m doing something like that when a user selects a row the 2nd cell value of the row should be displayed in a msgbox

[Dormilich]

if it's always the second cell of the selected row, it is index number 1.

[syedshaffee]

OK i tried that

$('#clickME td:eq(1)').text();

but when i going and click the second check box its giving me the same value and one more thing the <TD> is dynamically generated from database so i want that when the user clicks on the second check box the value of that 2<TD> should be displayed the code is here

  <td  ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>" NOWRAP><input id="Checkbox1" type="checkbox" /></td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>" NOWRAP><%=rstAsset("Asset_id") %> </td>
                <td  ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>" NOWRAP><%=rstAsset("invoice_no")%> &nbsp; </td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"> <%= rstAsset("invoice_date") %> &nbsp;</td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" NOWRAP bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"><%=rstAsset("Supplier_Name")%> &nbsp;</td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>" NOWRAP><%=rstAsset("Asset_type_description")%> &nbsp;</td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"> <%= rstAsset("assettypesubdesc") %> &nbsp;</td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"> <%= rstAsset("Asset_description") %> &nbsp;</td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" NOWRAP bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"> <%=rstAsset("Asset_Serial_no")%> &nbsp;</td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" NOWRAP bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"><%=rstAsset("Asset_barcode_no")%> &nbsp;</td>
                <td ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" NOWRAP bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"> <%=Formatnumber(rstAsset("Asset_purchase_price"))%></td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"> <%= ucase(rstAsset("statedesc")) %>&nbsp; </td>
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"> <%= ucase(rstAsset("Department_Desc")) %>&nbsp; </td> 
                <td ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" NOWRAP bgcolor="<%=BgColour%>"> <%=rstAsset("Cost_Centre_Code")%> &nbsp;</td>
 

how can i do that
-------------------
|check box| | TD |->when he clicks on the check box
+---------+-+-----+ the value of that TD should be displayed
|check box| | TD |
+---------+-+-----+

can u please suggest me for the same or alternative for the same

[Dormilich]

but when i going and click the second check box

what second checkbox?

when you said "select a row" this seemed to be a click action on the <tr> since you explicitly denied that a checkbox was used. (and for the records, I don't have a google inbox page to look at for comparison)

the <TD> is dynamically generated from database

that is considered static for JavaScript since the content is created before JS starts up.

besides that, when posting HTML code, use the one you get from the browser (via view source code) as any server-side code is absolutely pointless.

[Dormilich]

in what regard? mind that the only information I have is the one you give me. the clearer the information, the better I can help.
