jQuery: Get the first cell in the first row that has a specific class?

I was using this:

$('#' + tableID + "tr:first td:first")

To get my first cell, but there is potential the first cell isn't what I want. The cell I'm looking for is the first cell in the first row that has the class 'canEdit'. Any idea how to go about doing that?

So what you want is this from my understanding

$('#' + tableID + " tr:first td.canEdit:first")
// gets "first cell" in the "first row" that has class edit

Add a class to the tr. You should also limit to the tbody so it does not look in the thead or tfoot for the rows.

$('#' + tableID + " tbody tr.canEdit:first td:first")

Add your class to the selector.

$('#' + tableID + " tr.canEdit:first td:first")

Just add the respective class to your selector, like this:

If the row has to have the respective class:

$('#' + tableID + " tr.canEdit:first td:first")

Or if the cell has to have the class:

$('#' + tableID + " tr:first td.canEdit:first")

Also note the added space before the "tr" in the selector.
