Iterate through and delete empty HTML table rows with jQuery

Question

I am attempting to iterate through a HTML table using jQuery and delete empty rows. The page is driven by ASP.NET and with certain permission, items in the table will be hid

Answer 1

Try this:

var td = $(this).find('td:empty');
if ( td.length > 0 ) $(this).remove();

That said, you really want to do this on the server side. It'll look ugly on the client side because you'll have the empty rows messing things up until the document ready event is fired.
