Can jQuery supply the text of a table element when the user double clicks on it ?
I am new to jQuery, but think it might be able to solve a problem for me.
I am displaying large tables of information on web pages. These are generated from a database.
I would like to offer the user the chance to double click on any particular cell in the table (which will be delimited by <td> and </td>) to drill down for more information. To make this work, I need to be able to retrieve the text in the cell. I can't find a jQuery selector that will let me do this. I can get the correct routine to fire when someone double clicks on an "enabled" cell, but can not then retrieve the text.
Any ideas - even if it's "you can't do this with jQuery" - will be gratefully received.
