Table header JavaScript

My question is, how can I get text from header in javascript? So if I click on header I'll get alert with header text...

$("#myTable th").click(function() {
  alert(this.text());  //that doesn't work =)
});

$("#myTable th").click(function() {
  alert($(this).text());  //use $(this)
});

text() is a jQuery method so you should apply it to a jQuery selector.
this, inside the function handler refers instead to the DOM node
