jQuery - Getting the text value of a table cell in the same row as a clicked element

Question

I click a link in a table cell  I need to get the value of a specific cell within this same table row    lt tr gt       lt td class  one  gt this lt  td gt       lt td class  two  gt that lt  td gt       lt td class  three  gt here lt  td gt       lt td class  four  gt  lt a href     gt there lt  a gt  lt  td gt   lt  tr gt   lt tr gt       lt td class  one  gt qwqw lt  td gt       lt td class  two  gt dfgh lt  td gt       lt td class  three  gt ui lt  td gt   lt td class  four  gt  lt a href     gt there lt  a gt  lt  td gt   lt  tr gt    I have a click handler attached to the link in the fourth cell  That click handler calls a function that opens a modal window  When a form in the modal is submitted I want to also pass the value of td class  two  from the row in which the link was clicked to this modal    Here is the function that sends the modal  the problem area is getting the correct value for var Something    var Send   function         var Name        name    val        var Something     this  closest  td   siblings   two   text       version 1  doesn t work     var Something     this  closest  tr   siblings  td two   text       version 2 also doesn t work     var Something     this  attr  class       version 3  just a test but also doesn t work       ajax            async  false          data    name  Name  somedata  Something            type   POST           url  the url                      The problem is that I cannot get the correct value for Something  It should be the value of td class two in the same row as the clicked element   The way this all comes together is  Click the target link  that calls a method called Send Click    Send Click does some validations and then calls Send   but the value for Something is never populated  Is this because this is not what I m thinking it is  Hjelp

Nick has the right answer  but I wanted to add you could also get the cell data without needing the class name  var Something     this  closest  tr   find  td eq 1    text       eq    has a zero based index  link

it should work fine   var Something     this  children  td nth-child n    text

This will also work    this  parent   parent   find  td   text

so you can use parent   to reach to the parent tr and then use find to gather the td with class two  var Something     this  parent   find   two   html     or  var Something     this  parent   parent   find   two   html     use as much as parent   what ever the depth of the clicked object according to the tr row  hope this works

You want  children   instead  documentation here      this  closest  tr   children  td two   text
