title: Modifying table row content with jQuery
body: <p>Well, this might seem trivial to some, but for the longest time I've been doing the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    $('table#mats tr:last').find("select[id^='material_type']").val('');
      $('table#mats tr:last').find("select[id^='material_desc']").val('');
      $('table#mats tr:last').find("select[id^='material_thick']").val('');
      $('table#mats tr:last').find("select[id^='material_color']").val('');
      $('table#mats tr:last').find("select[id^='material_finish']").val('');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In other words, I'm modifying the values for each input in the last row of my table. I'm looking for a way to do this without repeating too much because this can get overwhelming. But I'm not sure you can chain with <code>find</code> and modify something at the same time, or am I wrong? I'm pretty sure there is something in jQuery that allows for this but I cannot remember what it was.</p>
