Don't know about "best", and don't know about jquery.

In javascript there are several ways, including (untested):

var t,c,a,e;
t=document.getElementById("filer"); // table
c=t.rows[t.rows.length-1].cells[0]; // only cell in last row
a=c.getElementsByTagName("a"); // anchors in cell
e=a[a.length-1]; // last anchor

If there's only ever a single anchor in each cell:

var t,c,e;
t=document.getElementById("filer"); // table
c=t.rows[t.rows.length-1].cells[0]; // only cell in last row
e=c.getElementsByTagName("a")[0]; // only anchor in cell

Possibly quicker, possibly not, may depend on browser:

var a,e;
a=document.getElementById("filer").getElementsByTagName("a"); // anchors 
in table
e=a[a.length-1]; // last anchor
