I have a table populated via a DB and it renders like so (it could have any number of columns referring to "time", 5 columns, 8 columns, 2 columns, etc):
<table id="eventInfo">
<tr> 
     <td class="name">John</td> 
     <td class="date">Dec 20</td> 
     <td class="**time**">2pm</td>
     <td class="**time**">3pm</td>
     <td class="**time**">4pm</td>
     <td class="event">Birthday</td>                
 </tr>
 <tr> 
     <td class="name">Billy</td> 
     <td class="date">Dec 19</td> 
     <td class="**time**">6pm</td>
     <td class="**time**">7pm</td>
     <td class="**time**">8pm</td>
     <td class="event">Birthday</td>         
</tr>  
With jQuery, I'd like to go through each Table Row and incrementally set an additional class-name on only the Table Cells where "class='time'" so that the result would be:
   
     
         John 
         Dec 20 
         2pm
         3pm
         4pm
         Birthday                
     
      
         Billy 
         Dec 19 
         6pm
         7pm
         8pm
         Birthday         
      
 
I've only been able to get it to count all of the Table Cells where "class='time'" and not each set within its own Table Row. This is what I've tried with jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
     $("table#eventInfo tr").each(function() {   
            var tcount = 0;
            $("td.time").attr("class", function() {
              return "timenum-" + tcount++;
            })
            //writes out the results in each TD
            .each(function() {
              $("span", this).html("(class = '<b>" + this.className + "</b>')");
            });    
        });
    });
Unfortunately, this only results in:
<table id="eventInfo">
<tr> 
     <td class="name">John</td> 
     <td class="date">Dec 20</td> 
     <td class="**time** **timenum-1**">2pm</td>
     <td class="**time** **timenum-2**">3pm</td>
     <td class="**time** **timenum-3**">4pm</td>
     <td class="event">Birthday</td>                
 </tr>
 <tr> 
     <td class="name">Billy</td> 
     <td class="date">Dec 19</td> 
     <td class="**time** **timenum-4**">6pm</td>
     <td class="**time** **timenum-5**">7pm</td>
     <td class="**time** **timenum-6**">8pm</td>
     <td class="event">Birthday</td>         
</tr>  
Thanks for your help!
