If your HTMLCollection is called 'collection' then 'collection.length'
is the number of TD elements and 'collection[0]', 'collection[1]', etc
refer to the individual elements. If all the TDs only contain text, no
child elements, then the only child node of each TD will be a text
node that you can access with 'collection[0].firstChild' etc, and you
can get the text content with 'collection[0].firstChild.nodeValue'
etc.
