Getting td by index with jQuery

Question

I know how to get a cell\'s row and column index with jQuery, but I can\'t figure out the reverse. Given a row and column index, how would I access the td at this location?<

Answer 1

How about using the nth-child selector?

http://api.jquery.com/nth-child-selector/

var row = 4;
var col = 2

var cell = $('table#tableId tr:nth-child(' + row + ') td:nth-child(' + col + ')');

Note that the child index is 1-based, rather than the more usual 0-based.
