JQuery, load, parse, sum and display from external page

I'm trying to load an external page which contains a table like this:

<table id="uniquedatatable"&g开发者_开发百科t;
 <tr class="row"> 
  <td class="num col"><a> 1 </a></td>
  <td class="str col"><a>Text</a></td>
  <td class="num col"><a>  7</a></td>
  <td class="str col"><a>Text</a></td>
 </tr>
</table>

*Notice the whitespace's in the class names of the td's and around the numbers (1,7).

I need to find all cell's (td's) with class "num col", get the numeric value between the a tag'a and sum all the values. Last I need to display this value on my own page.

So the result I would get from the above table should be: 1 + 7 = 8.

I've gotten this far:

 <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

 <p id="result"></p>

 <script type="text/javascript">
   var url = "http://someurl";
   var sum = 0;

   $('#result').load('url #uniquedatatable tr td.num col a', function() {
     sum += Number($(this).text());
   });

   _gel('result').innerHTML = sum;
 </script>

Realizing something is wrong (close to being correct I hope :)), I need help connecting the "dots" here so that I can:

1. Calculate the sum (this is the "big" problem :S)

2. Write the result back.

Any help is appreciated.

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">    
        var url = "<LOCAL_URL>";    
        var sum = 0;     
        $('#result').load(url, function() { 
            $("#uniquedatatable tr td.num.col a", "#result" ).each(function(){
                sum += parseInt($(this).text(), 10);
            });
                     _gel('result').innerHTML = sum;  

        });     
        </script>

for calc you can use sum += parseInt($(this).text());
