Question

I’m wondering how i can do these things using jquery filter method:

Select cell 1 to 4 and 6 to 8 in on table row.

or

Select cell 1 and cell 6 to 8 in that table’s TR.

I’ve tested these methods but they weren’t useful.

For the first: filter(‘gt(2):lt(4),gt(7):lt(8))’

For the second: filter(‘eq(2),gt(7):lt(8)’)

in code bellow the results may be like (cell number 1 to 8 excluding cell5 for the first) and (cell1 cell 6 cell 7 cell 8 for the second

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display" id="selection">
    <tbody>
        <tr>

            <td>cell1</td>
            <td>cell2</td>
            <td>cell3</td>
            <td>cell4</td>
            <td>cell4</td>
            <td>cell5</td>
            <td>cell6</td>
            <td>cell7</td>
                        <td>cell8</td>
        </tr>   
    </tbody>
</table>

Thank you.

You can use jquery filter.

// exclude 5th column (zero based indexes)
$(your_selector_to_cels).filter(function(index) { return index != 4; })

// get only column 1, 6, 7, 8
$(your_selector_to_cels).filter(function(index) { return index == 0 || (index >= 5 && index <= 7); })

I don’t know how hard coded you want to do that, but this is a way to do that.
