td contains  c     html  new      or  more precisely     table headers td contains  c     html  new     and maybe for reuse you could create a function to call  function ReplaceCellContent find  replace            table headers td contains      find         html replace

Using eq   you can target the third cell in the table       table header td   eq 2  html  new content      If you wanted to target every third cell in each row  use the nth-child-selector       table header td nth-child 3    html  new content

You can use CSS selectors   Depending on how you get that td  you can either give it an id    lt td id  cell  gt c lt  td gt    and then use       cell   text  text      Or traverse to the third cell of the first row of table header  etc
