JQuery selector for table cells except first/last row/column

jquery, jquery-selectors

Solution

You can use `:not()` with the `:first-child` and `:last-child` selectors, like this

$('table td:not(:first-child, :last-child)')

To exclude first/last rows as well:

$('table tr:not(:first-child, :last-child) td:not(:first-child, :last-child)')

Problem

is there a way to directly select all 'inner' table cells (`<td>` elements) of a table (i.e. all cells except the ones in the first and last row and column) using a jquery selector expression?
