Finding table cell using locator after tableCellAddress finds the cell

I have a JSP page populated by javascript resulting in a typical table element cascade <table><tbody><tr><td>. After population I see the text I want using

 getTable("tableLister.listTable.1.1")

The table also has a class=clsDisplayTableBody.
I want to click the check box in column 0 for the row of interest. However, all of these tests fail

 isElementPresent("//*[text()="+cellContents+"]/../td[0]"))
 isElementPresent("//table[@class='clsDisplayTableBody']//tr[1]/td[0]"))
 isElementPresent("css='clsDisplayTableBody' tr:nth-child(1) td:nth-child(0)"))
 isElementPresent("//xpath=id('tableLister.listTable')/descendant::tr[1]/descendant::td[0]"))
 isElementPresent("//table[@id='tableLister.listTable']//tbody/tr[1]/td[0]"))
 isElementPresent("//table[@id='tableLister.listTable']//tr[1]/td[0]"))

Is there anything else I could try?

isElementPresent("//xpath=id('tableLister.listTable')/descendant::tr[1]/descendant::td[0]")) 
isElementPresent("//table[@id='tableLister.listTable']//tbody/tr[1]/td[0]")) 
isElementPresent("//table[@id='tableLister.listTable']//tr[1]/td[0]"))

One obvious error is using 0 as index. XPath is 1-based.

You may be closer to obtaining the wanted result after you increase the indexes by 1.
