Ok...so this is working somewhat...the issue I see now is that the find() in the plugins are finding the "wrong row".
My table structure looks like this: table - row1 - cell 1 -table row 2 -cell 1 -table row3 -cell 1 -table When we use the parents("table eq:(0)) I get a reference to the main table containing all of the nested tables...however when using the find...it is finding rows within the nested table. Is there a way to make the find pertain only to the parent?
