Question

In my HTML code, I’ve got a certain cell whose value should be cleared if a link button is pressed. I’d like to achieve this using jQuery and here’s how I tried to do it but with no results:

var $delActionDate = $('#delete_Event');

        $delActionDate.live('click', function() {

            var myRow = $delActionDate.parent().parent();
            myRow.find('#dateCell').html() = "";

Any ideas on how to do this?

As Luca said, to update the html content you use html("") rather than html()="".

In additions, assuming your parent() stuff is correct based on your HTML, the change you need to make so that the selected row is based on which button is pressed should be: change

var myRow = $delActionDate.parent().parent();

to

var myRow = $(this).parent().parent();
