If by  td value  you mean text inside of td  then   document getElementById  td-id   innerHTML

Again with getElementById  but instead  value  use  innerText   lt td id  test  gt Chicken lt  td gt  document getElementById  test   innerText    the value of this will be  Chicken

For input you must have used value to grab its text but for td  you should use innerHTML to get its html value  Example   alert document getElementById  td id here   innerHTML     To get its text though  use   alert document getElementById  td id here   innerText
