How to select td range in a table with javascript scope selection?

Question

I am looking for a script that will allow me to select an area in a table (with the mouse), something similar to this script - http://odyniec.net/projects/imgareaselect/ .

What I need to do is select some td with the same area effect, which is used in imgareaselect above, and manipulate the contained data. Any ideas?

Thank!

With jQuery UI you can do something like this:

$('table').selectable({
    filter: 'td'
});
