You could use eq()
if it's always the second th
element you want to target:
$('th:eq(1)').text(); // returns 'B'
Edit:
If it's not always the second element, you could use index()
to determine whether it is in the second row or not.
if ($(this).text().trim() === "B") {
console.log($(this).index());
// Returns 1 and 2 respectively for your jsFiddle (0 index based)
// Meaning the first 'B' is in row 2, the second is in row 3.
}
Note: You should use $.trim
instead of trim()
, as in IE8 and before, you will recieve a syntax error using trim()
:
if ($.trim($(this).text()) === "B")
