How to get a table cell value using jQuery?

by

If you can, it might be worth using a class attribute on the TD containing the customer ID so you can write:

$('#mytable tr').each(function() {
    var customerId = $(this).find(".customerIDCell").html();    
 });

Essentially this is the same as the other solutions (possibly because I copy-pasted), but has the advantage that you won’t need to change the structure of your code if you move around the columns, or even put the customer ID into a <span>, provided you keep the class attribute with it.

By the way, I think you could do it in one selector:

$('#mytable .customerIDCell').each(function() {
  alert($(this).html());
});

If that makes things easier.
