JQUERY: readout content of span within current table

**killerwhale65** · 09:22 AM

hello,

I have the following setup:

jquery:

HTML Code:

$('.taak').click(function(){
   lalala = $(this).children("span").html();
   alert(lalala);
});

html:

HTML Code:

<table class="taak"><tr><td>
<span>mycontent</span>
</td></tr></table>

I would like to get the value of the span element within the table. Currently the alert says "null".

What is wrong?

thanks!

Matt
