Answer 1

You can use the following:

$table.find("td:contains('"+$SearchFor+"')").parent().index();

or

$table.find("td:contains('"+$SearchFor+"')").parent().data("index");

Demo

 var $table = $('#table') var $button = $('#button') var $SearchFor = 'cell 5' $(function() { $button.click(function() { var i = $table.find("td:contains('"+$SearchFor+"')").parent().index(); console.log($SearchFor + " is found in row with data-index " +i) }) })
