get this element placement within parent

Code:

<table>

  <td>

  </td>

  <td onclick = "somefunction (this);">

  </td>

  <td>

  </td>

</table>

Is it possible that somefunction would return 1 (via parentNode.getelementsbytagname), as this is second td within table ?
No id's, no nothing on elements inside table.

Code:

 

<script>

function somefunction(el){

    var count=0;

    var nodes=el.parentNode.getElementsByTagName(el.tagName);

        while(nodes[count++])

            if(nodes[count-1] === el) 

               alert(count-1);

};

 

</script> 

<body>

<table> <td> </td> <td onclick = "somefunction (this);"> clickMe </td> <td> </td> </table>

</body>
