(Jquery) Find the contents of a td from a selected tr

Question

I am very new to JQuery, so appologies for what may be a very simple question.

I have a table, and when i click on a row, i want the cells details to be filled into a form:

so simple example

<table id="table">
 <tr><td class="field1">1 </td><td class="field2">2 </td></tr>
</table>
<input id="input" type="text" />

So the JQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#table tr').click(function() {
       $test = $(this).find('td').context.innerText) //problem here *
       $('#input').val( );
   })

• this returns the innertext of the tr (i.e "1 2"

How am i supose to do it...

Thanks in advance

Andy

Edit: ok in my rush i see i messed up what i was supose to type, here is the js i am trying:

$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#table tr').click(function() {
       $field1 = $(this).find('td.field1').context.innerText) //problem here *
       $('#input1').val($field1);
       $field2 = $(this).find('td.field2').context.innerText) //problem here *
       $('#input12').val($field2);
   })

Appologies for the confusion

Answer 1

If you want the text of each cell to be captured as a singe space-separated string to populate your input, you can do this:

$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#table tr').click(function() {
       var $test = $(this).find('td').map(function() {
           return $(this).text();
       }).get().join(" ");
       $('#input').val($test);
   });
});

EDIT just call text(), e.g.:

var $field1 = $(this).find('td.field1').text();

Answer 2

$(document).ready(function() { 
   var $test="";
   $('#table tr>td').click(function() { 
       $test = $(this).text(); 
       $('#input').val($test);
   )};
});

alernative:

$(document).ready(function() { 
  var $test ="";
  $('.field1, #table').click(function() { 
      $test = $(this).text(); 
      $('#input').val($test); 
  )};
  $('.field2, #table').click(function() { 
    $test = $(this).text(); 
    $('#input').val($test); 
  )};
});
