[jQuery] print out td in tr without unique ids

[Jared_T]

Here's what I am trying to do - I want to print out the text value of
a particular td.  The easy solution would be to give each td in each
row a unique id (change code below so the first td to
id="row1_col1").  However if there is a way to access the text in col1
of row1 with jquery without giving each td element a unique id I'd
love to know.  You can look at the code below to get the idea of what
I am trying to do.

str01 = $("#row1 > col1").text();// this doesn't work
document.write("row1 col1 value is: " + str01 + "
");
str02 = $("#row1").("col1").text();// this doesn't work
either, these are just for the attempts that failed
document.write("row1 col1 value is: " + str02 + "
");

[jQuery] accessing child element without unique id

[Jared_T]

I'm trying to access a td text value, as shown in the javascript
below.  The easiet way to solve this problem would be to give each td
id value a unique identifier (i.e. td id="row1_col1") Is it possible
to access the td element of a tr with a unique tr id tag without
naming each td id uniquely?  I'm new to this, I pasted the code as an
example of what I'm trying to do.  All the attempts in the javascript
below failed.

//str04 = $("#col1").text(("#row1").text());
//document.write("row1 col1 value is: " + str04 + "
