Let’s say the following is our table −
<table id="demo" border="1"> <tr> <td>John</td> </tr> <tr> <td>David</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mike</td> </tr> </table> </body>
Use the following with text() to get last item −
$('table tr:last td')
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initialscale=1.0"> <title>Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css"> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script> </head> <body> <table id="demo" border="1"> <tr> <td>John</td> </tr> <tr> <td>David</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mike</td> </tr> </table> <script> var lastValue= $('table tr:last td').text(); console.log("The last value is="+lastValue); </script> </body> </html>
