Parent cell of a textbox 2

[JLizOB]

I am trying to return the index of a cell in a table, when a textbox is manipulated. I have an onchange event with the textbox and I am sending the textbox object as a parameter with the key word this. In my Javascript I am trying to obtain the index of the cell and row that the Textbox was contained in. I thought the following would work but had no luck, it returns undefined, and haven't found much in my searches.

function cell_onchange(sender)
{
    test = sender.cellindex;
    alert(test);
}

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

still no luck
here is my textbox in the table

<td>
<input [red]onchange="cell_onchange(this)"[/red] onfocus="cell_onfocus(this)" onblur="cell_onblur(this)" type="text" value="14" />
</td>

here is my javascript function

function cell_onchange(sender)
{
    alert(sender.cellIndex);
}

You're sending the function an Input element, not a cell element.

alert(sender.parentNode.cellIndex);

cellIndex applies to <td>s, not <input>s.
