Access table rows without column header row

Access table rows without column header row

I'm new to jquery and trying to learn how to traverse the DOM. I'm trying to access the rows of a table, but not the table row with the column headers. 

I have the following code:

  1. j$ = jQuery.noConflict();
  2. j$(document).ready(function() {
     
     if(j$) {
      //alert('Jquery loaded successfully...');
     }
     console.log(j$('input[id$=btnSearch]'));
     j$('input[id$=btnSearch]').click(function(){
      console.log(j$('[id$=searchTable]'));
     });  
    });

I'm first checking for the search button on the page. Then I am adding a button click event handler to the button and outputting the jquery object for the table that is dynamically generated when a search is run by the user. My next step is to get the rows that are generated in the table. I need to get all children tr elements of the table except the column headers. How can I access the table rows except the row with the column headers?

My goal is to add the ability to do a shift+select of the table rows and set the checkboxes on each row to true.
