title: Select Text from Control in Table Row with JQuery
body: <p>I have a table row with 5  cells.</p>
  
  <p>I want to click an image in the last cell, and get the text value from a radio button in the first cell.</p>
  
  <p>Can somebody tell me jQuery command I need?</p>
  
  <p>I'm currently doing it like :</p>
  
  <pre><code>// when the image is clicked
  
  alert($(this)[0].parentElement.parentElement.children[0].childNodes[1].innerText);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but something tells me this is a bit too verbose to be correct.</p>
  
  <p>any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>Dave</p>
