Answer 1

Your question is somewhat unclear.

You can get the last child of a row for which the first child contains Order Date like this:

$('tr:has(td:first-child:contains("Order Date")) td:last-child').text()

Answer 2

try:

var text = $('td:contains("Order Date")').parent().children('td:last').text();

Answer 3

cleaner:

  var cellText = $('td:contains("Order Date")').nextAll(':last').text();
