Answer 1

Try below approach for n columns

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/ptVDm/7/

var tblhdr = $('table#students th').map(function () {
    return $(this).text();
}).get();

console.log(tblhdr);

var tbl = $('table#students tbody tr').map(function(idx, el) {
    var td = $(el).find('td');
    var obj = {id: idx+1};

    //Can work on number of columns
    for (var i = 0; i < tblhdr.length; i++) {
        obj[tblhdr[i]] = td.eq(i).text();
    }

    return obj;
}).get();

console.log(tbl);
