Sample Html(This only contains one of many more row).
<table id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_categoryTable" class="categoryTable sortAsc editInputs" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>8</td>
<td>
<input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$ctl17" type="text" value="307349_335692806541952_16061425_n.jpg" readonly="readonly" />
</td>
<td><input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$ctl18" type="text" value="key1 " readonly="readonly" /></td>
<td>3/28/2013</td>
<td>.jpg</td>
<td>28120</td>
<td><a href="download.aspx filename=307349_335692806541952_16061425_n.jpg&type=image">307349_335692806541952_16061425_n.jpg</a></td>
<td>
<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="editLinkClass">Edit </a><a href="javascript:void(0)" class="deletetLinkClass"> Delete</a><a href="javascript:void(0)" class="updateLinkClass" style="display:none;">Update</a><a href="javascript:void(0)" class="cancelLinkClass" style="display:none;"> Cancel</a>
</td>
<tr>
</tbody>
My Javascript
$(document).ready(function () {
console.log("document ready")
$(".categoryTable tr td a").click (function (event) {
console.log($(this).text() + "click detected");
if ($(this).text() === "Edit ") {//compare with "Edit " not "Edit"
console.log("Edit");
console.log($(this).parent().parent().children('td input').text());
$(this).siblings(".deletetLinkClass").attr("style", "display:none");
$(this).siblings(".updateLinkClass").attr("style", "display:;");
$(this).siblings(".cancelLinkClass").attr("style", "display:;");
$(this).attr("style", "display:none")
}
else
console.log("no EDit");
});
});
What i am trying to do is select the input tags in the same row tr
but different td
on click of an anchor tag in the same row. I have tried a lot of combinations of the following jQuery statement with no success. Please Help.
$(this).parent().parent().children('td input').text()
Here this
represents the clicked anchor tag. To be more clear i don't want to select all the input tags in the table, just the ones in the same row.
