html - jquery get first td value -

i getting html table in jquery ajax response

$.ajax({         url: '/ajaxexecute.aspx?fn=getfee',         type: 'post',         context: document.body,         cache: false,         success: function (response) {         alert(response); }); 

response contains following table

 <table border="1" id="tbl1" border="0" style="margin-left:30px;">     <thead>         <tr>             <th>fee_type</th><th>fee_amount</th><th>from_amt</th><th>to_amt</th><th>fee_percent</th><th>higher_of_two</th><th>max_capture</th><th>min_capture</th>         </tr>     </thead>     <tbody>         <tr>             <td>0</td><td>5</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>0.00</td><td>0</td><td>0</td><td>0</td>         </tr>     </tbody> </table> 

i want first row first td value i.e. 0

response.find('td').html(); 

in console getting error object response has no method 'find'

you can use .eq selector

$(response).find('tbody td:eq(0)').html();
