查找具有特定单元格值的行

Question

I have a function which finds a row within an html table whos first column contains a specific value...

$('#table tr').find('td:eq(0):contains(' + value + ')').parent();

The problem I have is that it returns all rows that have the number 1 in column 0 rather than just the row with 1. (ie, 1, 15, 21 etc..)

Is there an equivalent 'equals' to the 'contains' part of this search or some other way of doing this? I can't seem to find one.

Answer 1

The simplest would be to use filter :

$('#table tr').filter(function(){
   return $.trim($('td', this).eq(0).text())=="1";
});
