IList<IWebElement> tableRow = tableElement.FindElements(By.TagName("tr"));
IList<IWebElement> rowTD;
if (tableRow.Count > 0)
{
    foreach (IWebElement row in tableRow)
    {
        rowTD = row.FindElements(By.TagName("td"));
        if (rowTD[0].Text.Equals("UK"))
            rowTD[2].Click();
    }

You can find the parent tr element based on child td containing the desired text and then find the child input element as following:

//tr[.//td[contains(.,'UK')]]//input

The entire Selenium command finding and clicking this element could be

driver.FindElement(By.XPath("//tr[.//td[contains(.,'UK')]]//input")).Click();

dose not work cause input inside another td

Prophet Over a year ago

My XPath expression is locating a parent tr based on the text and then I'm going from that parent tr to it's child input. The input here is not inside the td containing that text. So, if you presented correct XML and correctly copied my XPath it should work.
