How to get TD value using jQuery.?

Question

I am trying to get value of td using jquery like this.

$("#id").find(".class").attr('value'); 
//or
$("#id").find(".class").val();

both returns empty string although it has a value. note* i'm trying get value of dynamically created element. thanks in advance.

One can refer to this In-depth article on getting table cell value along with demo codepedia.info/jquery-get-table-cell-td-value-div — Satinder singh

Just write

$("#id .class").text();

Or to get the HTML use,

$("#id .class").html();

The val() function is primarily used to get the values of form elements such as input, select and textarea. You need text() or html() function to get the contents of td.

To get text

textOfTd = $("#id").find(".class").text();

To get Html

textOfTd = $("#id").find(".class").html();

HTML:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td class="tdcls">1</td>
        <td class="tdcls">2</td>
        <td class="tdcls">3</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="tdcls">4</td>
        <td class="tdcls">5</td>
        <td class="tdcls">6</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Jquery code to select particular td value:

$(".tdcls").mouseenter(function(){
    var a = $(this).text();
});
