Question

I have a string containing <tr>s and <td>s. I want to split the data from the <td>s into an array. So that this:

<tr>
 <td>Test</td>
 <td>Hey</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>Test2</td>
 <td>Hey2</td>
</tr>

Becomes:

array[0] = { test, hey }
array[1] = { test2, hey2 }

Answer 1

var originalString = "<tr><td>Test</td><td>Hey</td></tr><tr><td>Test2</td><td>Hey2</td></tr>";
var targetArray = [];

$(originalString) /*.find("tr")*/ .each(function(index, tr) {
  targetArray[index] = $("td", tr).map(function(index, td) {return $(td).text();});
});
