Question

I have something like this:

<table>
  <tr class="row_class_name">
    <td><span></span></td>
    <td>...</td>
  <tr>
</table>

now I want to hide the <span> element within the <td>. I am trying to use
$('.row_class_name span'), but it does not seem to work.

How would I do this correctly?

Answer 1

Try like below,

$('.row_class_name').find('span')

If just first column,

$('.row_class_name td:first').find('span')
