I'm new to JQuery and I'm trying to figure out a way to select select specific elements on a page that are within a <table></table> ?

Half of my code works and the other half does not work meaning when I don't put my syntax in a table it's working but when I leave it out of a table it's working. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. My first goal is to hide the "#p1" and "#p2" elements inside of the table but I can't figure that out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks everyone.

$(document).ready(function () {
   
 // notes: I also get a quick flicker when I load the page 
   
 // flicker meaning the paragraph info. Not sure why? 
   
 // happens in a new browser. New meaning, the page wasn't loaded recently. 
   
 // --------- 
   
 // notes: when I tried this in IE when I click "Click Here" 
   
 // the paragraphs appear quickly but in Chomre and Firefox they 
   
 // were slow? Not sure why. 
   
 // --------- 
   
 // but this seems to work 
   
 // What is this doing? 
   
 // hides the paragraph tags

 // http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_hide_show.asp 
   
 $("#p1").hide();
   
 $("#p2").hide();
   
 // what does this statement mean? 
   
 // when you click on "Click here" 
   
 // it will show p1 and p2 
   
 // http://api.jquery.com/click/ 
   
 $("#paragraph").click(function () {
   
 // can enter any numeric value here 
   
 // number wise, 1000 or 500 would be most practical 
   
 // or could enter, 'medium', 'slow', 'fast' 
   
 // http://api.jquery.com/slideDown/ 
   
 $("#p1").slideDown(300);
   
 $("#p2").slideDown(300); /* $("#p1").show(5000); $("#p2").show(5000); */
   
 }); // this statement means when you click on the h1
   
 // statements the paragraphs will show 
   
 // the below statement has nothing to do with the above example 
   
 // I just felt like adding it in here for fun 
   
 $("h1").click(function () {
   
 $(this).next().slideToggle(300);
   
 });
   
 /*
   
 // syntax with no notes 
   
 $("#p1").hide();
   
 $("#p2").hide();
   
 $("#paragraph").click(function () {
   
 $("#p1").slideDown(5000);
   
 $("#p2").slideDown(5000);

 $(this).next().slideToggle(300);
