Cam Spiers, thank you very much,
i adapted your really helpfull example and solved it like this: function clickOnTableRow() { var row = jQuery(this); var songUrl = row.children("td.hidden_url_field_for_track_list").text (); // do other stuff with songUrl } Again, thanks very much, i lost hours trying to figure this out by myself.
