jQl,

For each image you want to have this behaviour, give it a class (below I use someclass ), then attach the behaviour as follows:

$('img.someclass').click(function(){
  var $row = $(this).closest('tr');
  alert('Row id: ' + $row.attr('id'));
});

.closest() is safer than .parent() and increasingly safer than .parent().parent() etc. as there may (one day) be intermediate nodes that you didn't consider at the time of writing the js. This is unlikely in the case of <td> to <tr> but in the case of <td> to <table> there is uncertainty as to whether there is an intermediate <tbody>.

In jQuery, .closest() can be one of your best friends.

what is this part for?

var col = $(this).parent().children().index($(this));

looks like you are trying to get the same td again which ultimately is $(this).

$('td').click(function(){
    //$(this) would be the clicked td.
});
