I have a table that looks similar to the following
<table id="mytable">
<tr><td>1</td><td>Data here</td></tr>
<tr><td>3</td><td>Data here</td></tr>
<tr><td>2</td><td>Data here</td></tr>
</table>
How do I use jquery to retrieve the number 3 since it is the highest of the 3 rows? I cannot use last or first since it is not guaranteed that the rows will be ordered.
