jquery - Hide checkbox for table row?

Question

Hello, how do I hide the checkbox for the table row that always contains the word "Fixed" as a link? Please see screenshot. The ID and names are dynamic and always change. I tried this but had no luck:

$( "tr:contains('Fixed')" ).find( ":checkbox" ).css( "display", "none" );

Something like this should work:

$('a').filter( function() {
    return ~$(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf('fixed');
} ).closest('tr').find(':checkbox').hide();

The .toLowerCase() makes it case-insensitive, and the ~ is there because if indexOf() doesn't match the string, it returns -1 (0 means "at position 0"), so the bitwise NOT converts -1 into the falsey value of 0, and everything else into truthy values.

You can improve this by adding a selector to the front so it doesn't crawl every single <a> tag - something like $('table').find('a') or better yet the ID, or something more identifiable.

$( "tr a:contains('Fixed')" ).find( ":checkbox" ).css( "display", "none" );
