Find second last row from table

Question

I have table with dynamic row and I want to find second last row from table.

HTML Code

<table class="table">   
    <tr><td>1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>2</td></tr>
    <tr><td>3</td></tr>
    <tr><td>4</td></tr>
    <tr><td>5</td></tr>
    <tr><td>6</td></tr>
    <tr><td>7</td></tr>
    <tr><td>8</td></tr>
    <tr><td>9</td></tr>
    <tr><td>10</td></tr>
</table>

jQuery Code

alert($(".table").find("tr:last").find("td").html());  

I tried with tr:last but it give me last row with value 10.

Answer 1

Use .prev() to go back one element.

alert($(".table tr:last").prev().find("td").html());

Answer 2

With nth-last-child:

alert($(".table").find("tr:nth-last-child(2)").find("td").html()); 

You could also make it a single selector:

alert($(".table tr:nth-last-child(2) td").html());
