jQuery: How to count table columns?

Answer 1

To be robust..I'd do something like this

alert(numCol("table") + " is the max number of cols");

function numCol(table) {
    var maxColNum = 0;

    var i=0;
    var trs = $(table).find("tr");

    for ( i=0; i

Just in case we have some funkiness going on between different rows.
