You can select first of each for table you gave in question as follows ,

    var firstTDS    =   $(".myTable tr td:first-child");

This is a list of first of each , you can process them by traversing firstTDS . For example to change background color of first of each , you can do ,

   for(var i in firstTDS)
   {
     $(firstTDS[i]).css('background-color','red');
   }

That's it .

you can do it like this 

var Firsttds = $(".myTable tr td:first-child");
alert(Firsttds.length)​;​

You mean the first TD element of each TR element within the table?

var fields = $("#myTable>tr>td:first-child");
