Try

Code:

document.getElemntById(&quot;rowID&quot;).cells[0].innerHTML

You could also use firstChild.nodeValue:

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--

	function getContents(cellID)
	{
		var myCellObj = document.getElementById(cellID);
		alert(myCellObj.firstChild.nodeValue);
	}

//-->
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<BODY>

<TABLE BORDER=&quot;1&quot;>
<TR>
	<TD ID=&quot;c1r1&quot;>abc</TD>
	<TD ID=&quot;c2r1&quot;>def</TD>
	<TD ID=&quot;c3r1&quot;>ghi</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
	<TD ID=&quot;c1r2&quot;>jkl</TD>
	<TD ID=&quot;c2r2&quot;>mno</TD>
