Question

I have a table that looks something like this:

<asp:Repeater ID="myRepeater" runat="server">
    <div id="divTable" class="divTable">
    <table id="myTable">
        <thead>
        <tr>
            <td>A</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>B</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>C</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>D</td>
        </tr>                        
    </thead>
    <tbody id="myContent">
        <tr>
            <td>Some Text</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Some Text</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>Some Text</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td id="findMe">
                <%#Eval("IsFlagged")%>
            </td>
        </tr>                            
    </tbody>
    </asp:Repeater>
    </table>
    </div>

Now, here’s what I’m trying to do. If <%#Eval(“IsFlagged”)%> returns anything at all, i’d like to make all the cells in the table row a certain color.

I’ve been reading about .contains(), but I haven’t found an example that simply asks “if not null, apply a .css style to the rest of the cells of the table row”.

I put together an example in jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/aMR5r/

Edit: Your edit makes the code a little simpler, but it’s the same principle.

$(function(){
    var isFlagged = $('#findMe').text();
    if(isFlagged.length > 0)
    {
        $('#findMe').parent().addClass('yellow');
    }
});
