I'm trying to output all first tds in all table rows, but .html()
only outputs the first, rather than all.
From the jQuery website:
Description: Get the HTML contents of the first element in the set of matched elements.
Relevant code:
$("button").click(function() {
var table1 = '<table><tr>';
var data = $("#myTable tr:first-child").html();
var table2 = '</tr></table>';
var output = table1 + data + table2;
$(".result").html(output);
});
When I change it to:
$("#myTable:first-child").html();
All matching elements are output, all trs, instead of just the first.
How can I output all first tds? And what does this rule of only first matched element mean? It seems only to apply sometimes...
