Question

I am using Jquery datatable. Using Json object i have feed the values in a table. In a table i have value as “FAX” in some cells. My question is i want to highlight entire row with some color which is having “FAX” value in a Table. I have tried below mentioned code but its not working for me

$("#pagination_table tr td:contains('FAX')").css('background','red');

Answer 1

Also that code will only highlight the table cell, you would need

$("#pagination_table tr td:contains('FAX')").closest('tr').css('background-color', 'red');
