Question

Suppose I have a table:

 <table id="mytable">
    <tr>1</tr>
    <tr>2</tr>
    <tr>3</tr>
    <tr>4</tr>
    <tr>5</tr>
    <tr>6</tr>
    ...
    ...
   </table>

I know you can use ('#mytable').find("tr:gt(n)").remove();
to remove all rows after nth row.
But is there a similar function to let you specify a range of rows you want to remove? say I want to remove row 2 to row 5? or I just want to remove row 2?

do i have to add an id to each row to achieve this?

thanks

You can use jQuery slice(start,[end]) for a range and eq(index) for single rows.

var myRows = $("table tr").slice(1,5);
