Here we defined table with few attributes ‘id, rules, cellspacing, border, style’ which are help for display table in our expected way.

In table we created five rows which include headers ‘Name, Position, Age’ so in each row we need to specify data in three columns with respective headers and at last we defined button ‘Submit’ with id for generate jquery function after click.

                $(function(){
                $("#btn").click(function(){
                    var hd="Name Position Age\n";
                    $("#exm input[type=checkbox]:checked").each(function(){
                        var rw=$(this).closest("tr")[0];
                        hd += rw.cells[1].innerHTML;
                        hd += " "+rw.cells[2].innerHTML;
                        hd += " "+rw.cells[3].innerHTML;
                        hd += "\n";
                    });
                    alert(hd);
                });
            });
                </script>
        <table id="exm" rules="all" cellspacing="0" border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse;">
                    <tr>
                    <th> </th>
                    <th style="width: 80px;">Name</th>
                    <th style="width: 120px;">Position</th>
                    <th style="width: 120px;">Age</th>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
