Getting values of input boxes in a table using jquery - php

Question

I have a table containing multiple rows of input boxes. Entire table and its contents are created dynamically using jQuery Post. Each tr in the table has 7 td and the first td contains a radio button and remaining have text input boxes with values. User has to change the values in the text boxes and click on radio button to update the same. how to get the value if input boxes in the selected row?
I used following function to pop an alert message
jQuery(document).delegate("[name='edit']", "click",function (e) {
alert("clicked");}
This is working. I want to get values of input boxes using this. closest tr input . But do not know the syntax. Please help
the script for creating the table is like this:
echo'<form id="shiftentry" name="shiftentry" >';
echo "Date:<input id=shiftdate value='".$date."'/>";
echo "Unit:<input id=shiftdate value='".$unit."'/>";
echo "Shift:<input id=shiftdate value='".$shift."'/><br/>";
echo "<table><tr><th>No</th><th>Ele</th><th>Location</th><th>Drate </th><th>H3 Val </th><th>Part </th> <th>Iod</th><th>Cont. </th></tr>";
while($row2=mysql_fetch_array($result_sec))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td><input name='edit' type='radio'/></td>";
echo "<td>".++$rc."</td>";
echo "<td><input size='5' id='".$row2['ele']."' value='".$row2['ele']."' /></td>";
echo "<td><input id='".$row2['loc_id']."' value='".$row2['loc']."' /></td>";
echo "<td><input size='5' id='drate".$rc."' value='".$row2['drate']."'/></td>";
echo "<td><input size='5' id='h3".$rc."' value='0' /></td>";
echo "<td><input size='5' id='part".$rc."' value='0' /></td>";
echo "<td><input size='5' id='iod".$rc."' value='0' /></td>";
echo "<td><input size='5' id='cont".$rc."' value='0' /></td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo " </table>";
echo '<div align="center">';
echo '<input type="submit" id="submit2" name="submit2" value="Submit" width="30" />';
echo '</div>';
echo '</form>';

Take a look on .closest() and :eq() selector.
jQuery(document).delegate("input[name='edit']", "click",function (e) {
// Will return the Parent Row of clicked input
var _tr = $(this).closest('tr');
// You have 9 td in particular row
// Let's access the 7th input box: <input size='5' id='iod".$rc."' value='0' />
$('td:eq(7) input', _tr).val(); // will return its value
});
