not able to get specific columns in IE

[ericlee748]

Hey guys,

I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I have Javascript code that
retrieves specific cells of data from a flexigrid that looks like:

var name = $("#rh .trSelected td:nth-of-type(1)").text().trim();

This works really well in FireFox - but it does not work in IE. In IE,
I get back the whole row of text ,not just the column. I see this in
IE 7 and 8.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks!

Eric.
