I find the table but can't get the ID

I have the piece of html below. The table is used for JQgrid.

<section id="section_students">
<table id="grid_students"></table>
<a class="btn" href="#">Click</a>
</section>

And I'm intending to use JQuery to find out the value of the table if a button under the same section is clicked.

$("section a.btn").click(function(){
var curGrid = $(this).parent().find('table').get(0);
alert($(curGrid).attr("id"));
});

This alert will return 'undefined' and I can't understand why.
What am I missing?

EDIT: Looks like JQGrid changes the ID of the table, which is weird. I'll be researching this, meanwhile, if anyone knows how to prevent this behavior, please let me know.

jqGrid converts the original <table> (<table id="grid_students"></table> in your example) in complex structure of tabeles and dives. The most simple modification of your original code could be

$("section a.btn").click(function(){
    var curGrid = $(this).parent().find('table.ui-jqgrid-btable').get(0);
    alert($(curGrid).attr("id"));
});

(I use the fact that jqGrid set ui-jqgrid-btable class on the original <table>).

Please put your code in $(document).ready(function(){ ...... });

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("section a.btn").click(function(){
    var curGrid = $(this).parent().find('table').get(0);
    alert($(curGrid).attr("id"));
    });
});

It works well, did you put the javascript code into jquery ready().

$(function(){
    $("section a.btn").click(function(){
    var curGrid = $(this).parent().find('table').get(0);
    alert($(curGrid).attr("id"));
    });
});

Try this

$("#section_students").find("a.btn").click(function(){
var curGrid = $(this).parent().find('table').get(0);
alert($(curGrid).attr("id"));
});
