Question

I have a number of tables, which have nested tables. I using jQuery to hide some of the table cells as a number are empty or the contents irrelevant.

I use jQuery to hide all TD’s and then jQuery to show them, for instance, if they contain a <P>.

Unfortunately some of the TD’s don’t contain anything but still need to be shown. The class the TD’s are given is dynamic so I wont be able to code for them all (Sensibly) however they do all end ‘Node’

I was wondering if its possible to do something like…

$(function() {
   $('TR .*Node').css('display','inline');
});

Answer 1

This will select any tds with Node somewhere in their class name.

$('td[class*=Node]').css('display','inline');

This will select any tds with Node at the end of their class name.

$('td[class$=Node]').css('display','inline');

Bear in mind that .show() does roughly the same thing as .css('display','inline');
