jQuery parse HTML

Question

I have a simple function, that looks like this

var getCellText = function ($cell) {
  var html = $cell.html();
  $(html).find("input").each(function () {
    alert(this.value);
  });
}

The HTML could look like this

<input class="lineno" name="lineno" value="4109375" type="hidden">
<input onchange="Time.UpdateLine(this, 'studentno', this.value, '4109375');" class="studentno" value="2088" type="text">

I need to get the value of the studentno input tag (and I can ignore the input called lineno).

How can I do that, as you can see, I have already given it a try

You're overcomplicating things. Don't use .html(), do use .val().

function getCellText($cell)
{
    var value = $cell.find('input.studentno').val();
    console.log(value);
}

Assuming the $cell variable is a jQuery object containing a parent element of .studentno, this will work:

var getCellText = function ($cell) {
    alert($(".studentno", $cell).val());
}

You could try this:

$('input.studentno',html).each(function () {
    alert($(this).val());
});
