I have a problem that I can't solve how much I try. By clicking on the Edit Customer button I wan't to get the value from the CustomerNr cell. My problem is that I don't know how to get the row index by clicking on a button and then pass it to my function so I can specifically get the CustomerNr on that row I pressed the button on. You can take a look at my jsfiddle link and note, this is the first time I code in Javascript/Jquery. I'm open for smart solutions.
Here you can see how far I came. I managed to select value from a specific cell.
function GetCellValues() {
var Row = document.getElementById("somerow");
var Cells = Row.getElementsByTagName("td");
alert(Cells[0].innerText);
}
I have managed to get the row index by clicking on on a td but I want to get it by pressing a button.
function myMethod(obj) {
alert(obj.parentNode.rowIndex); // parentNode is also used
}
I wan't to somehow bine this two functions, like in C#. (I'm a C# programmer)
function GetCellValues(e) {
//Something here
alert(Cells[0].Rows[e] innerText);
}

- 1 @dandavis Yes the button is in a cell between <td> – Sadjad Johansson Commented Dec 6, 2014 at 23:55

Reset to default 3I've changed the id's of your buttons to classes, as you can't name two elements with the same id, then I looped through the elements... Working fiddle
You should avoid to use inline functions and pereferably do it like this, this might safe you a lot of time and keeps it better maintainability:
Javascript:
var a = document.getElementsByClassName('otherButton');
for (var i = 0; i<a.length;i++) {
a[i].addEventListener('click',function(){
var b = this.parentNode.parentNode.cells[0].textContent;
alert(b);
});
}
HTML:
<table id="somerow">
<tr>
<th>CustomerNr</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Contact</th>
</tr>
<tr >
<td>1</td>
<td>Cigarettes Inc</td>
<td>Rambo</td>
<td>
<button class="otherButton" >Edit Customer</button>
</td>
</tr>
<tr >
<td >22</td>
<td>Razor</td>
<td>David</td>
<td>
<button class="otherButton">Edit Customer</button>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>H&M</td>
<td>Samuel Adams</td>
<td>
<button class="otherButton" >Edit Customer</button>
</td>
</tr>
}
the button is inside the td which is inside the tr, so you need to go 2 nodes up. Try this:
function GetCellValues(obj) {
alert(obj.parentNode.parentNode.rowIndex);
}
HTML
<html>
<head>
<style>
table, td {
border: 1px solid black;
}
.selected {
background-color: yellow;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<table id="somerow">
<tr>
<th>CustomerNr</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Contact</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Cigarettes Inc</td>
<td>Rambo</td>
<td>
<button id="otherButton" onclick="GetCellValues()">Edit Customer</button>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td onclick="myMethod(this);">22</td>
<td>Razor</td>
<td>David</td>
<td>
<button id="otherButton" onclick="GetCellValues()">Edit Customer</button>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>H&M</td>
<td>Samuel Adams</td>
<td>
<button id="otherButton" onclick="GetCellValues()">Edit Customer</button>
</td>
</tr>
</center>
</body>
</html>
JS
function GetCellValues(elm) {
alert(elm.parentNode.parentNode.cells[0].textContent);
}
function myMethod(obj) {
alert(obj.parentNode.rowIndex);
}
