Are you on pure JS? Then you can:

var td = document.querySelectorAll('#tbl td'); [].forEach.call(td, function(el){ el.addEventListener('click', function(){ console.log(this.parentNode.firstElementChild.innerHTML); }, false); });

With jQuery like this:

 $('#tbl td').on('click', function(){ console.log($(this).closest('tr').find('td:first').text()); });
