Modifying table cell content if row contains specific string

Question

Hi I am trying to modify content in the 3rd cell of a table using jQuery if that table row contains specific string. My code is below. It doesn't seem to work.

$(‘tr:contains(test1)’).find(‘td:nth-child(2)’).html(‘test2’);

Answer 1

Alternative way to achieve above is using eq(2) it will find element which is at 2 index starting from 0 .

Demo Code :

 $("tr:contains(test1)").find("td:eq(2)").html("test2");

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <table> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>test1 </td> <td>something </td> </tr> <tr> <td>2</td> <td>test1 </td> <td> something</td> </tr> <tr> <td>3</td> <td>test4 </td> <td> something</td> </tr> </table>
