.children() traversing error

[tdajka@…]

I've the following peace of table:

<tr id="new_1" style="">

<td id="new_range_start_1" align="center">0</td> <td>-&gt;</td> <td>

<input type="text" id="limit_1" name="limit_1" value="" onchange="setNextRow(this);">

</td> <td>

<input type="text" id="percent_1" name="percent_1" value="">

</td> <td> </td>

</tr>

When I add another row after this - tested, working fine - I want to set the new row's first cell from the previous row's 2nd cell's input with the following code:

var prev_end = parseInt($('#new_'+ranges_cnt).prev().children('td:eq(2) input').val());

it's not working. I'm getting 'undefined'. However, this code works:

var prev_end = parseInt($('#new_'+ranges_cnt).prev().children('td:eq(2)').children('input:eq(0)').val());
