Javascript Web Development Object Oriented Programming

Get data from tag using find() and store that data into array using push(). Let’s say the following is our table −

<table id="details">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>John</td><td>23</td>
<tr><td>David</td><td>26</td>
</tbody>
</table>

<script>
   var convertedIntoArray = [];
   $("table#details tr").each(function() {
      var rowDataArray = [];
      var actualData = $(this).find('td');
      if (actualData.length > 0) {
         actualData.each(function() {
            rowDataArray.push($(this).text());
         });
         convertedIntoArray.push(rowDataArray);
      }
   });
   console.log(convertedIntoArray);
