Select the anchor using css child selector to check that the anchor is a child of a td then call parent

$('td > a').parent();

Remember that jQuery has the :has() pseudo-selector.

$('td:has(> a)')

This will select all <td> elements with an immediate <a> child.

Many ways to do this

You can use the parent css selector or jQuery's parent() function. Check out the sample and this jsFiddle Demonstration

var listOfTD = $("table td > a").parent();

This gives you all td having anchor as an immediate child, from the table. My advice is to give id to the table than you should write:

var listOfTD = $("#tableid td > a").parent();

If you give an #id to your table, you can do something like this:

$(function(){
    myTds = [];
    $('#mytable td>a').each(function(){
        myTds.push($(this).parent())
    })

//do stuff with your tds
});

something like

$('td').filter(function(){
    if($(this).children('a').length > 0){
        return this;
    });

This should do the trick:

$("td > a").parent();
