Jquery- Get the value of first td in table
- by Jerry
Hello.
   I am trying to get the value of first td in each tr when a users clicks "click". 
The result below will output aa ,ee or ii. I was thinking about using clesest('tr')..but it always output "Object object". Not sure what to do on this one. Thanks.
My html is 
<table>
<tr>
  <td>aa</td>
  <td>bb</td>
  <td>cc</td>
  <td>dd</td>
  <td><a href="#" class="hit">click</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>ee</td>
  <td>ff</td>
  <td>gg</td>
  <td>hh</td>
  <td><a href="#" class="hit">click</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td>ii</td>
  <td>jj</td>
  <td>kk</td>
  <td>ll</td>
  <td><a href="#" class="hit">click</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
Jquery
$(".hit").click(function(){
 var value=$(this).// not sure what to do here
 alert(value)  ;
});
