I have the following string:
<td class="internal-first-row add-internal-hover cursor">Fname Lname</td>
<td class="center add-internal-hover cursor">Campaign Manager</td>
<td class="center classval add-internal-hover cursor">
<input id="h_user_id_147" value="147" type="hidden">
<a id="delete-internal-user-btn" href="javascript:void(0);">X</a>
</td>
In jQuery, how can I get the html() only of the 1st <td>
tag which is "Fname Lname"?
Use the below code
var value = $('td:first').html()
console.log(value)
to be more precise and for performance reasons, find within your table
var value = $('#table_id').find('td:first').html();
or
var value = $('#table_id').find('td').first().html();
btw.. your td elements should be within tr elements :) to make it as correct html markup.
If that is a plain string, you can get the value using
var value = $('<table>')append(
'<tr>'+your_html_string+'</tr>'
).find('td:first').html();
