Get Cell Location

Question

So I have this table, and when I click on a `td` I would like to know where is that(which row and cell) without any attributes on the elements. ``` // If I click on this I would like to know tr:1 & td:2

1	2	3
4	5	6
7	8	9

``` Javascript: ``` // Track onclicks on all td elements var table = document.getElementsByTagName("table")[0]; var cells = table.getElementsByTagName("td"); // for(var i = 1; i < cells.length; i++){ // Cell Object var cell = cells[i]; // Track with onclick cell.onclick = function(){ // Track my location; // example: I'm in table row 1 and I'm the 2th cell of this row } } ```

Accepted Answer

In the handler, `this` is the table cell, so for the cell index do this:

```
var cellIndex  = this.cellIndex + 1;  // the + 1 is to give a 1 based index
```

and for the row index, do this:

```
var rowIndex = this.parentNode.rowIndex + 1;
```
