How to get the value of an ID TR from td value?

Question

I have this data in a table:

Red
Green
Blue


Yellow
Pink
Orange

I want to show an alert like this:

alert($(this).closest('tr').find("Orange").text());

But it does not work.

Answer 1

set an id field for each tr like

<tr id="1">
<td>Red</td>
<td>Green</td>
<td>Blue</td>
</tr>
<tr id="2">
<td>Yellow</td>
<td>Pink</td>
<td>Orange</td>
</tr>

then alert($(this).closest('tr').attr('id'));
