Click on HTML table and get row number (with Javascript, not jQuery)
Try this:
function getId(element) { alert("row" + element.parentNode.parentNode.rowIndex + " - column" + element.parentNode.cellIndex);}<table> <tr> <td><input type="button" value="button" onclick="getId(this)"></td> <td><input type="button" value="button" onclick="getId(this)"></td> <td><input type="button" value="button" onclick="getId(this)"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="button" value="button" onclick="getId(this)"></td> <td><input type="button" value="button" onclick="getId(this)"></td> <td><input type="button" value="button" onclick="getId(this)"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="button" value="button" onclick="getId(this)"></td> <td><input type="button" value="button" onclick="getId(this)"></td> <td><input type="button" value="button" onclick="getId(this)"></td> </tr></table>
Most generic version of @Gremash js function
function getId(element) { alert("row" + element.closest('tr').rowIndex + " -column" + element.closest('td').cellIndex);}
