Getting the table row values with jQuery

Question

I am trying to get the values from an HTML table row. When I click on the table row delete button, I want to put those values on variables to send to the server. I have found something from here that looks like what I need, but when I put it together for my scenario, it does not work.

Here is the table HTML:

  <table id='thisTable' class='disptable' style='margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;'  >
    <tr>

   <th>Fund</th>
   <th>Organization</th>
   <th>Access</th>
   <th>Delete</th>
   </tr>
    <tr>
   <td class='fund'>100000</td><td class='org'>10110</td><td>OWNED</td><td><a  class='delbtn'ref='#'>X</a></td></tr>
   <tr><td class='fund'>100000</td><td class='org'>67130</td><td>OWNED</td><td><a class='delbtn' href='#'>X</a></td></tr>
   <tr><td class='fund'>170252</td><td class='org'>67130</td><td>OWNED</td><td><a class='delbtn' href='#'>X</a></td></tr>
   <tr><td class='fund'>100000</td><td class='org'>67150</td><td>PENDING ACCESS</td><td><a  class='delbtn' href='#'>X</a></td></tr>
   <tr><td class='fund'>100000</td><td class='org'>67120</td><td>PENDING ACCESS</td><td><a class='delbtn' href='#'>X</a>
   </td>
  </tr>

and here is the jQuery:

  var tr = $('#thisTable').find('tr');
        tr.bind('click', function(event) {
            //var values = '';
           // tr.removeClass('row-highlight');
            var tds = $(this).addClass('row-highlight').find('td');
            
            $.each(tds, function(index, item) {
                values = values + 'td' + (index + 1) + ':' + item.innerHTML + '<br/>';
                alert(values);
            });
            alert(values);

        });

What am I doing wrong? I keep looking at examples but I cant seem to make this work.

Try this:

jQuery('.delbtn').on('click', function() {
    var $row = jQuery(this).closest('tr');
    var $columns = $row.find('td');

    $columns.addClass('row-highlight');
    var values = "";
    
    jQuery.each($columns, function(i, item) {
        values = values + 'td' + (i + 1) + ':' + item.innerHTML + '<br/>';
        alert(values);
    });
    console.log(values);
});
