jquery how to select the nth-child of the current TD in a dynamic table
<p>This is probably simple for some of you, but I'm having trouble with it.  I want to get the value of the first TD in the TR of the TD that has a checkbox that has been checked.
The line of code to alert the CSS of the nth-child is just my last attempt at selecting the TD.</p>

<pre><code>$('.notdupe').live('click', function (e) {
        //alert("indivNum=" + $(e.target).val() + "&amp;SetValue=" + $(e.target).is(":checked"));
        $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url: "cfc/basic.cfc?method=SetNotDupe",
          data: "indivNum=" + $(e.target).val() + "&amp;SetValue=" + $(e.target).is(":checked"),
          error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            // show error alert(errorThrown); 
          }
        });
        alert($(e.target:nth-child(-10)).css);
      });

&lt;td class="dupegroup"&gt;#dupe_group_number#&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="checkbox" name="UserIDList" value="#userid#" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;a href="#request.controlURL#individuals/?fa=viewIndiv" target="_blank"&gt;#userid&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;#lastname#&lt;/td&gt; 
&lt;td&gt;#firstname#&lt;/td&gt; 
&lt;td&gt;#nickname#&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;#companyname#&lt;/td&gt; 
&lt;td&gt;#address1#&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;#zipcode#&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;#state#&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td&gt;client&lt;/td&gt;    
&lt;td align="center"&gt;&lt;input class="notdupe" type="checkbox" name="indivID" value="#userid#" checked /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
</code></pre>
