Since TR elements wrap the TD elements  what you re actually clicking is the TD  it then bubbles up to the TR  so you can simplify your selector  Getting the values is easier this way too  the clicked TD is this  the TR that wraps it is this parent  Change your javascript code to the following      document  ready function             dataGrid td   click function             alert  You clicked my  lt td gt        this  html                     My TR is       this  parent  tr   html               get  lt td gt  element values here

Try jQuery s delegate   function  like so     document  ready function           div custList table   delegate  tr    click   function             alert  You clicked my  lt tr gt                get  lt td gt  element values here                   A delegate works in the same way as live   except that live   cannot be applied to chained items  whereas delegate   allows you to specify an element within an element to act on

Unless otherwise definied   lt tfoot gt    lt thead gt    browsers put  lt tr gt  implicitly in a  lt tbody gt    You need to put a  gt  tbody in between  gt  table and  gt  tr      div custList  gt  table  gt  tbody  gt  tr     Alternatively  you can also be less strict in selecting the rows  the  gt  denotes the immediate child       div custList table tr       That said  you can get the immediate  lt td gt  children there by   this  children  td
