In a dynamically created table, there are multiple rows, and each row contains 7 cells. When I click a cell of a row, I want to find out which cell is actually picked using the jQuery (see the code below). In debugging, I went though the 'this' item. In the this.cells, the 7 cells are on the list. But I could not find the property that shows whether the cell is actively selected or not. What's the proper approach to find out if a cell is picked or not? Thanks.

JavaScript

$('#selectedListTable').on('click', 'tr', function () { 
   ...
});

Solution 1

try this,
replace the tr with td, by doing so the this object will be filled with current cell object.

JavaScript

$('#selectedListTable').on('click', 'td', function () { 
   ...
});
