From within a xhtml page created with JSF, I need to use JavaScript / jQuery for changing the content of a cell of a table. I know how to assign a unique id to the div containing the table, and to the tbody. I can also assign unique class names to the div itself and to the target column. The target row is identified by the data-rk attribute.

<div id="tabForm:centerTabView:personsTable" class="ui-datatable ui-widget personsTable">
    <table role="grid">
        <tbody id="tabForm:centerTabView:personsTable_data" >
            <tr data-rk="2" >
                <td ... />
                <td class="lastNameCol" role="gridcell">
                    <div> To Be Edited </div>
                </td>
                <td ... />
            </tr>
            <tr ... />
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>

I have tried with many combinations of different jQuery selectors, but I am really lost. I need to search my target row and my target column inside that particular div or inside that particular table, because the xhtml page may contain other tables with different unique ids (and accidentally with the same row and column ids).
