Dynamically Created Table Rows, Accessing Values

I have a table in which I am dynamically creating the tbody section from the
database. This works great, but my problem is that I have an edit button on
each row, and I want to call a javascript function that will then take the
cell values and copy them to text boxes to be edited, but I can't see to
access the values in anyway. When I look at the source, the tbody is empty,
but the page displays it.

I am new to this type of solution, so I am sure there is a simple solution,
but I am not sure what do to.

I don't know what you have done and you haven't given enough information for
anyone to tell where the breakdown has occured. When you get stuck doing
something complicated, it's a good idea to narrow down the area to search,
by testing a simplified version of what you are trying to do, then combing a
small area for the false assumption that is causing the whole thing to fail.

Test the expected values at each stage, so that false assumptions don't have
a chance to propogate. Test, test, test....

When you have tried to extract a value, are you sure that you are
referencing the object that you intend to. Once you think you have the
correct object, doing something like "alert(obj.nodeName)" tells you if you
are referencing the right type of node. Et cetera, et cetera...
