通过在 td 中搜索确切的文本来删除 tr

Question

I have a table in which I have list of name.

Now I want to delete it by jquery on basis on its text.

$(addrow + " td:contains(" + foodname + ")").parent('tr').next("tr").remove();

I have this which works fine but it have a flaw.

For eg for removing 'xyz',

Case 1: td with text such as xyz,abc,poi etc. ------> it works fine

Case 2: td with text such as xyz,abxyzc,poi etc. ------> removes xyz and xyzabc as well

Is there a direct way to check exact and not contains in td by jquery?

Thank you!

Answer 1

match your td text value with text()

Try below code -

If you want to delete tr which is next to that 'tr' in which td matches with the text.

$(addrow).find('td').each(function(){
    if($(this).text() == foodname){
        $(this).parent('tr').next("tr").remove();
    }
});

Or you just want to delete the tr whose td matches with the text.

$(addrow).find('td').each(function(){
    if($(this).text() == foodname){
        $(this).parent('tr').remove(); // don't use next() here
    }
});
