Question

I have a table like this:

<table>
  <tr>  
    <td>something</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>something else</td>
  </tr>
</table>

now based on an id that is in the td i want to move the tr’s around so that they are in the position held by the id. any ideas on how to do this?

Answer 1

You can select the tr by using the parent() function. For example,

$("#td-id").parent().appendTo("table");

will move the tr containing the td with the id “td-id” to the bottom of the table.
