What i'm currently trying to do is find all columns associated with a table header.

For example:

1. <table id="thetable">
2.   <thead>
3.     <tr><th colspan="2">Column 1 header</th></tr>
4.   </thead>
5.   <tbody>
6.     <tr><td>Column 1 data</td><td>Column 1 data</td></tr>
7.   </tbody>
8. </table>

I would be really happy if when something like this would be possible:

1. var jqTh = $( '#thetable thead th:eq(0)' )
2. jqTh.getTBodyColumns( ).toggle( ); // Get all cells for first th and hide them
