How to select the matching th value for each td value

AppsbyICE

I am using the following selection to select a row of values

"fnRowSelected": function ( nodes ) {
            var oTT = TableTools.fnGetInstance( 'accounts_id' );
            var aSelectedData = oTT.fnGetSelectedData();            
            alert( aSelectedData );
        }       

I get a nice list of values for the selected row. I would like to match each value to its corresponding column header <th> value.
How do I get the parent table header values?

This is the approach that I took:

$(document).ready(function() {
    // Instantiate the dataTables object and the TableTools plugin and
    // specify the following options:
    //     single row select
    //     export (not yet working)
    //     buttons copy and csv
    var table = $('#accounts_table').DataTable();
    var tt = new $.fn.dataTable.TableTools( table, {
        "sRowSelect": 'single',
        "sSwfPath": "/swf/copy_csv_xls_pdf.swf",
        "aButtons": [ "copy", "csv" ],
        
        // If the user clicks on a row:
        //     get the selected data
        //     display the edit form
        //     populate the form using the header names and values from the selected row
        "fnRowSelected": function ( nodes ) {
            var oTT = TableTools.fnGetInstance( 'accounts_table' );

            // It took me days to realize that fnGetSelectedData() returns a 2D array, since tableTools 
            // can select multiple rows. I've set it to single select so I'm only interested in aSelectedData[0] 
            var aSelectedData = oTT.fnGetSelectedData();

            $('#form_account_update').show();

            // The headers array enables us to match each value from the selected
            // row to the corresponding form input.
            var headers = [];   
            var form_inputs = [];
            $('#accounts_table th').each(function(i) {
                headers[i] = $(this).text();
            });
            for (i = 0; i < headers.length; i++) {
                form_inputs[ headers[i] ] = aSelectedData[0][i];
            } 
            for (var inputfield in form_inputs) {
                $('#' + inputfield).val(form_inputs[inputfield]);
            }       
        }       
    } );
