Question

Say I have a table:

<table id="mytable">
      <tr class="old_row"><td>1</td><td>2</td><td class="edit">Edit</td></tr>
      <tr class="old_row"><td>1</td><td>2</td><td class="edit">Edit</td></tr>
      <tr class="old_row"><td>1</td><td>2</td><td class="edit">Edit</td></tr>
</table>

I want to click on the <td>Edit</td> cell and use jquery to replace the entire row with a new row with more content, e.g.

    $(document).ready(function() {

        $('#mytable .edit').click( function() {

            var tr = $(this).parent();
            var new_row = '<tr class="new_row"><td>3</td><td>4</td><td>Save</td></tr>'
            // code to replace this row with the new_row
        });

    } );

Any idea how this could be done?

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#mytable .edit').click( function() {

        var new_row = '<tr class="new_row"><td>3</td><td>4</td><td>Save</td></tr>'
        $(this).parent().replaceWith(new_row);
    });

} );
