Find row and column of clicked table cell in JavaScript without jQuery [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to create an onclick function that returns the row and the column of the clicked cell from a table in JavaScript without using jQuery. What I have so far will return the column, but I can't figure out how to make it return the row.

  **cellToAppend.addEventListener("click", clicked);**

  **function clicked() {
    alert("clicked cell at: " + (this).cellIndex + ", ");
  }**

Answer 1

Use parentNode to get the row.

function clicked() {
    alert("clicked cell at: " + this.cellIndex + ", " + this.parentNode.rowIndex);
}
