jQuery/Javascript: Check all checkboxes on the following table

My original javascript was:

$(document).ready(function(){
 $("th :checkbox").change(function() {
    $(this).closest("table").find(":checkbox").prop("checked", $(this).is(":checked"));
 });
});

which was used on a setting like this:

<div>
<table id="table" width="100%">
<tr>
    <th><input type="checkbox" />Select All</th>
    <th>A</th>
    <th>B</th>
    <th>C</th>
    <th>D</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td><input type="checkbox" /></td>
    <td>A</td>
    <td>B</td>
    <td>C</td>
    <td>D</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

I slightly changed how my tables were and it now goes something like:

<table>
 <tr>
  <th><input type="checkbox" />select all</th>
 </tr>
</table>
<table>
 <tr>
  <td><input type="checkbox" /></td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
  <td><input type="checkbox" /></td>
 </tr>
</table>

What do I need to change in my javascript so that when the checkbox in <th> is checked, all the checkboxes inside the <td>'s in the next table are checked?

Thanks.

Add .next() to .closest("table"):

$(document).ready(function(){
 $("th :checkbox").change(function() {
    $(this).closest("table").next().find(":checkbox").prop("checked", $(this).is(":checked"));
 });
});

$(this).closest("table") selects the table of the element matching th :checkbox. next() selects the next element, which is another table, in this case.

This code can break easily. I suggest to set an ID to the other table, and use the following code:

$(document).ready(function(){
 $("th :checkbox").change(function() {
    $("#id-of-table :checkbox").prop("checked", $(this).is(":checked"));
 });
});
