IF Statement based on <td id="myCell">

Is there a JavaScript statement that will identify the contents of a table cell? I’m trying to build a function with an ‘if statement’ based on the contents of an existing table cell on the same page. Is this poss???

function check_table_data()
if the TD = “whatever”
{
do this
}
else
{
do the other
}

Thanks

Also in #JavaScript _↴
