How can i ignore a click on a selected column

gman0104

I have four columns in my table and i want to ignore the click on column 4. How can i achieve this via JavaScript

Something like this td:not(:nth-child(4)). If this doesn't help please provide more details of what you are doing/. Maybe a code snippet of your event handler selector.

Hi my code is as follows

$('#myTable tbody').on('click', 'tr', function () {
      setDate(value);
} );

Yep, do what Kevin said above - replace tr with his suggestion.

Sorry i forgot to include a line but if i update the code as follows im not getting a value for var value=$(this).find('td:first').html();

$('#myTable tbody').on('click', 'td:not(:nth-child(4))', function () {
var value=$(this).find('td:first').html();
setDate(value);
} );

Maybe something like this will work?

$('#myTable tbody').on('click', 'td:not(:nth-child(4))', function () {
  var tr = $(this).closest('tr');
  var value=$( tr ).find('td:first').html();
  setDate(value);
} );
