select a td by table class

Question

I've searched online for the answer but

$(".classname tbody tr td") or $("table.classname tbody tr td")

don't work, I have got a table with only a class and I need to operate on tds etc.

the only reason why it don't work is probably the name of the class which is :table name name-surname.

the html is like this


  
     
        
          name
          surname

is this the real problem or i'm missing something? there's a way to go around it? i can't add an id or change the name of the class

You could always write your selector as this .table.name.name-surname tbody tr td

$(".table.name.name-surname tbody tr td").each(function() {
  console.log($(this).html())
});




  
    
      name
      surname

Inorder for $(".classname tbody tr td") or $("table.classname tbody tr td") to work, the tablw should have a class called classname

console.log($(".classname tbody tr td"));
console.log($("table.classname tbody tr td"));




  
    
      name
      surname

Just use one of your table class like $(".table") or if you want to use multiple class connect them by dot like this: $('.table.name.name-surname tbody tr td')

Here is working sample:

$(".table tbody tr td").each(function(itm,el) {
   console.log(el);
});

$('.table.name.name-surname tbody tr td').each(function(itm,el) {
   console.log(el);
});

You have to use "." for all the classes [.table.name.name-surname] and for the element tags, just their names [tbody td]
Also, you don't have tr element in your html.

console.log($(".table.name.name-surname tbody td"));




  
    
      name
      surname
