Answer

If you add a click event on td and click on each td, you can be able to get the value of that td‘s data by using $(this).text();. Have a look at the snippet below and after running the snippet click on the td and see the value.

$("#myTable tbody td").click(function () {
    console.log($(this).text());
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table class="table" id="myTable">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>FirstName</th>
            <th>LastName</th>

        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>John</td>
            <td>Doe</td>

        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Jane</td>
            <td>Burl</td>
        </tr>

    </tbody>
</table>

Update: If you click on a specific row and want to get the entire row’s data you can simply follow this way:

$("#myTable tbody td").click(function () {
    var row = $(this).closest("tr");    // Find the row
    var cell1 = row.find("td:nth-child(1)").text(); // Find the first cell's data
    var cell2 = row.find("td:nth-child(2)").text(); // Find the second cell's data
    console.log(cell1 + " " + cell2);
});

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<table id="myTable">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>FirstName</th>
            <th>LastName</th>

        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td>John</td>
            <td>Doe</td>

        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Jane</td>
            <td>Burl</td>
        </tr>

    </tbody>
</table>
