Hi,
I'd think CSS3 "nth-child" selectors[1] should be able to help (not
with the unique bit). Something like this:
list = $('search').down('tbody').select('tr > td:nth-child(1)');
list.each(function(td) {
// ...do something with the td here... */
});
There I used a direct child selector (the > bit) just in case you have
nested tables. That should match the first cell in each row of the
table's (first) tbody. You can have multiple tbody elements in a
table, if so you'll have to handle that separately.
