I have the following table:

<table id=messages border=1>

  <tbody>

    <tr>

      <th>Name</th>

      <th>Text</th>

      <th>Subject</th>

    </tr>

    <tr value=1>

      //data

    </tr>

    <tr value=2>

      //data

    </tr>

  </tbody>

</table>

I need some jquery that will return the val attribute of the clicked tr. I already have jquery that will return an array of all teh inclosed td within the tr but i still need the value saved to a variable. Any help?
