How to select all td elements of a given table?

Question

I would like to select with jQuery all td elements of a table given in myT variable. I do not want to select tds from inner tables. I need a cross-browser solution and it should work with thead, tbody and without them.

So I would like a sum of:

myT.find(">tbody>tr>td"); myT.find(">thead>tr>td"); myT.find(">tr>td"); // is this necessary? // is there something missing?

How about:

myT.find("td").not("td td");

Nice. I accepted Kae's solution though, because I think it might be faster.

this might do it:

myT.find('>*>tr>td, >tr>td');

myT.children('tr td');

or

myT.children('tr td').not('td table');
