I would do: $('.clicked').parent('tr').attr('id'); But I think I'd set the 'clicked' class on the entire row, instead of the 1st TD. When you set the #journalCode value, you're only setting it to the string, "Journal1" (for example). Is that correct? Or, do you actually want to set it to the contents of some TD in that row?
