Question

I’m pretty sure this can be done without going into a function but I want to grab any TR where there is a <td>Mail ...</td> or <td>Foo ... </td> as examples.

I keep thinking it should look like

$('tr[./text()^="foo"]') but chrome doesn’t like it.
or $('tr[./td/text()^="Mail"]') but no luck
can this be done with a simple selector?

Answer 1

I’m quite surprised no one came up with this, maybe my question was too vague.

$('tr:has(td:contains("Leather"))').hide()
$('tr:has(td:contains("Mail"))').hide()
$('tr:has(td:contains("Cloth"))').hide()
$('tr:has(td:contains("Bow"))').hide()
$('tr:has(td:contains("Gun"))').hide()
