I am very new to JQuery, so appologies for what may be a very simple question.

I have a table, and when i click on a row, i want the cells details to be filled into a form:

so simple example

<table id="table">
 <tr><td class="field1">1 </td><td class="field2">2 </td></tr>
</table>
<input id="input" type="text" />
So the JQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#table tr').click(function() {
       $test = $(this).find('td').context.innerText) //problem here *
       $('#input').val( );
this returns the innertext of the tr (i.e "1 2"
How am i supose to do it...
Thanks in advance
Edit: ok in my rush i see i messed up what i was supose to type, here is the js i am trying:
$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#table tr').click(function() {
       $field1 = $(this).find('td.field1').context.innerText) //problem here *
       $('#input1').val($field1);
       $field2 = $(this).find('td.field2').context.innerText) //problem here *
       $('#input12').val($field2);
Appologies for the confusion
If you want the text of each cell to be captured as a singe space-separated string to populate your input, you can do this:
$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#table tr').click(function() {
       var $test = $(this).find('td').map(function() {
           return $(this).text();
       }).get().join(" ");
       $('#input').val($test);
EDIT just call text(), e.g.:
var $field1 = $(this).find('td.field1').text();
                I am not sure if my edits made any changes to your suggestion, if you could have a look. And thank you for your reply, i will have a look

    $("tr#tr_id").click(function(){
        $("#hiddenDiv").show();
        $("#leadID").val($(this).find("td.l_id").text());
