Question

Below is my code and currently it searches the whole webpage. I’m trying to figure out how to make it search only within a table. (There is only one table on the page).

Any help would be appreciated.

var TargetLink              = $("a:contains('gg')");
var TargetSink              = $("a:contains('u')");

if (TargetLink  &&  TargetLink.length)
{
window.location.href    = TargetLink[0].href;
} 
else if (TargetSink  &&  TargetSink.length) 
{
window.location.href    = TargetSink[0].href;
}

Answer 1

var TargetLink              = $("table a:contains('gg')");
var TargetSink              = $("table a:contains('u')");

EDIT:
You say there is only one table on the page. Do you absolutely know there will only ever be one table? Even if you think the answer is yes, I would try and add an id or class selector so that things won’t break in the future.

Also, the following code can be simplified:

if (TargetLink  &&  TargetLink.length)

to:

if (TargetLink.length)

Re: "could I combine those 2 variables into 1":

Use a comma in the selector, like so:

//--- Need more of the HTML structure for a better selector.
var TargetLink              = $("table")
                            .find ("a:contains('gg'), a:contains('u')")
                            ;
if (TargetLink.length) {
    window.location.href    = TargetLink[0].href;
} 

If both kind of links are found, 'gg' will be used (first).
