Find td with specific text, and operate on the td right after that one?

Answer 1

This should work...

$(function() {
    var searchText = "Section Heading 3";
    var output = "";
    $("td").each(function(i, item) {
        if($(item).html() == searchText) {
            output = $(item).html();
            output += $(item).closest("td").html()
        }
    });

    console.log(output);
});
