javascript - how to find table tag td values useing jQuery filter selecter -

<table>     <tr>         <td>calories </td>         <td>targetvalue1</td>     </tr>     <tr>         <td>protein</td>         <td>targetvalue2</td>     </tr>      <tr>         <td>protein</td>         <td>targetvalue3</td>     </tr>  

hi how can select second td values??

i tried

    $.each($("#nutritab tbody tr td:eq(1)"),function(i , item){         alert($(item).text());       }); 

but return first values ....

use nth-child selector instead of :eq(index)

the :nth-child(n) selector matches every element nth child()(index starts 1)

the :eq(index) selector selects element @ index n within matched set.(zero-based index)

$.each($("#nutritab tr td:nth-child(2)"), function(i, item) {    alert($(item).text());  });
