Loop Through Each HTML Table Column and Get the Data using jQuery

Question

i'm trying to get the data inside the html <tbody>. Basically, i have many rows like this;

                <tbody>
                    <tr>
                        <td>63</td>
                        <td>Computer</td>
                        <td>3434</td>
                        <td>
                            <button class="btn-medium btn-danger remove" id="mprDetailRemove"><i class="icon-remove"></i></button>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>64</td>
                        <td>Stationary</td>
                        <td>111</td>
                        <td>
                            <button class="btn-medium btn-danger remove" id="Button1"><i class="icon-remove"></i></button>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>64</td>
                        <td>Stationary</td>
                        <td>11</td>
                        <td>
                            <button class="btn-medium btn-danger remove" id="Button2"><i class="icon-remove"></i></button>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                </tbody>

Now, i'm looping through and trying to get the <td> values like this;

        var table = $("#mprDetailDataTable table tbody");

        table.find('tr').each(function (key, val) {
            $(this).find('td').each(function (key, val) {
                var productId = val[key].innerHTML; // this isn't working
                var product = ?
                var Quantity = ?
            });
        });

But, i'm not able to get the values(html text) of the each row. I want to assign these values to local variables.
Also, i don't want to get the innerHTML of a button (which is in each row)

Answer 1

Using a nested .each() means that your inner loop is doing one td at a time, so you can't set the productId and product and quantity all in the inner loop.

Also using function(key, val) and then val[key].innerHTML isn't right: the .each() method passes the index (an integer) and the actual element, so you'd use function(i, element) and then element.innerHTML. Though jQuery also sets this to the element, so you can just say this.innerHTML.

Anyway, here's a way to get it to work:

    table.find('tr').each(function (i, el) {
        var $tds = $(this).find('td'),
            productId = $tds.eq(0).text(),
            product = $tds.eq(1).text(),
            Quantity = $tds.eq(2).text();
        // do something with productId, product, Quantity
    });

Answer 2

try this

    $("#mprDetailDataTable tr:gt(0)").each(function () {
        var this_row = $(this);
        var productId = $.trim(this_row.find('td:eq(0)').html());//td:eq(0) means first td of this row
        var product = $.trim(this_row.find('td:eq(1)').html())
        var Quantity = $.trim(this_row.find('td:eq(2)').html())
    });
