Q:

Getting third cell of each row

var Rows = $("#tableid tbody tr");
Rows.each(function(index, element) {
var thirdCell = $(this+":nth-child(3)").text();
    alert(thirdCell);
});

Something in the var thirdCell line is not working correctly.  Each row has four children, all td tags.  I want to get the text inside the third cell. 

A:

Try something like below,
var Rows = $("#tableid tbody tr");
Rows.each(function(index, element) {
var thirdCell = $(this).find('td').eq(2).text();
    alert(thirdCell);
});
