When you author
   <tr onclick="yourFunction(this.rowIndex);">
then the browser calls the onclick handler and sets the this object to 
the tr element object.
If you want to access the cell then you need to put an onclick handler 
on each cell e.g.
   <td onclick="yourFunction(this.cellIndex);">
But in general it is easier to put the event handler on a parent element 
and then use the event object and its properties srcElement respectively 
target and then walk the parentNode hierarchy till you find a cell.
