try this :-

var header = Array();

$("#mytable tr th").each(function(i, v){
    header[i] = $(this).text();
})

alert(header);

var data = Array();

$("#mytable tr").each(function(i, v){
    data[i] = Array();
    $(this).children('td').each(function(ii, vv){
    data[i][ii] = $(this).text();
 }); 
})

alert(data);

var table_data;
$("#mytable td").each(function(){
   table_data += $(this).text();
});

console.log(table_data)

If you just want the text, use .text() instead of .html():

var table = $("#mytable").text();

You can collect the cell values like this:

arr = new Array();
$("td").each(function () {
    t = $(this).text();
    arr.push(t);
});

console.log(arr);
