jQuery: how to select every cell in a table except the last in each row?

Question

I want every cell in each row except the last in each row. I tried:

$("table tr td:not(:last)")

but that seems to have given me every cell except the very last in the table. Not quite what I want.

I'm sure this is simple but I'm still wrapping my head around the selectors.

Try:

$('table tr td:not(:last-child)')
