because a tablecell usually doesn't have a "name" attribute associated
with it. Remember that your "itsme" variable is a reference to a DOM
element (not a jQuery element). Which explains
var itsyou = itsme.attr("name");
alert(itsyou);
// gives no results, it actually stops everything from working.
You would need itsyou = $(itsme).attr("name"); But even then, if
"itsme" is a tablecell, the name attribute likely doesn't exist. Maybe
try "id" instead?
var itsyou = eccomi.find("input:checkbox");
alert(eccoti);
// gives no results, it actually stops everything from working
if eccomi is a DOM element, then this would stop and likely throw an
error ('find' not a property or object)... Try it as
$(eccomi).find("input:checkbox");
The core issue that I can see is understanding the difference between a
DOM object/element and a jQuery object. They are not the same, though
they are often used in a very similar manner.
