Question

I have a simple question regarding jQuery selectors. I’m using the tablesorter and I use a selector to filter out a table that has no records.

$('#mytable:has(tbody tr)').tablesorter();

The problem arises when I have multiple sorted tables on the page.

var x = 0;
while(x < 10) {
    $('#myTable + x:has(tbody tr)').tablesorter();
    x+=1;
}

This doesn’t work because x is not substituted in the selector. I can’t for the life of me see what combination of brackets and quotes will fix this.

Any ideas ?

Answer 1

Use '#myTable'+x+':has(tbody tr)' as selector.
