What is the best method for removing a table row with jQuery?
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
You're right:
$('#myTableRow').remove();
This works fine if your row has an id, such as:
<tr id="myTableRow"><td>blah</td></tr>
If you don't have an id, you can use any of jQuery's plethora of selectors.
Solution 2 - Javascript
$('#myTable tr').click(function(){
$(this).remove();
return false;
});
Even a better one
$("#MyTable").on("click", "#DeleteButton", function() {
$(this).closest("tr").remove();
});
Solution 3 - Javascript
Assuming you have a button/link inside of a data cell in your table, something like this would do the trick...
$(".delete").live('click', function(event) {
$(this).parent().parent().remove();
});
This will remove the parent of the parent of the button/link that is clicked. You need to use parent() because it is a jQuery object, not a normal DOM object, and you need to use parent() twice, because the button lives inside a data cell, which lives inside a row....which is what you want to remove. $(this) is the button clicked, so simply having something like this will remove only the button:
$(this).remove();
While this will remove the data cell:
$(this).parent().remove();
If you want to simply click anywhere on the row to remove it something like this would work. You could easily modify this to prompt the user or work only on a double-click:
$(".delete").live('click', function(event) {
$(this).parent().remove();
});
Hope that helps...I struggled on this a bit myself.
Solution 4 - Javascript
You can use:
$($(this).closest("tr"))
for finding the parent table row of an element.
It is more elegant than parent().parent() which is what I started out doing and soon learnt the error of my ways.
--Edit -- Someone pointed out that the question was about removing the row...
$($(this).closest("tr")).remove()
As pointed out below you can simply do:
$(this).closest('tr').remove();
A similar code snippet can be used for many operations such as firing events on multiple elements.
Solution 5 - Javascript
Easy.. Try this
$("table td img.delete").click(function () {
$(this).parent().parent().parent().fadeTo(400, 0, function () {
$(this).remove();
});
return false;
});
Solution 6 - Javascript
Is the following acceptable:
$('#myTableRow').remove();
Solution 7 - Javascript
All you have to do is to remove the table row (<tr>) tag from your table. For example here is the code to remove the last row from the table:
> $('#myTable tr:last').remove();
*Code above was taken from this jQuery Howto post.
Solution 8 - Javascript
function removeRow(row) {
$(row).remove();
}
<tr onmousedown="removeRow(this)"><td>Foo</td></tr>
Maybe something like this could work as well? I haven't tried doing something with "this", so I don't know if it works or not.
Solution 9 - Javascript
try this for size
$(this).parents('tr').first().remove();

</table>
</body>

Another one by empty() :
$(this).closest('tr').empty();
Solution 11 - Javascript
If the row you want to delete might change you can use this. Just pass this function the row # you wish to delete.
function removeMyRow(docRowCount){
$('table tr').eq(docRowCount).remove();
}
Solution 12 - Javascript
if you have HTML like this
<tr>
<td><span class="spanUser" userid="123"></span></td>
<td><span class="spanUser" userid="123"></span></td>
</tr>
where userid="123" is a custom attribute that you can populate dynamically when you build the table,
you can use something like
$(".spanUser").live("click", function () {
var span = $(this);
var userid = $(this).attr('userid');
var currentURL = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host;
var url = currentURL + "/Account/DeleteUser/" + userid;
$.post(url, function (data) {
if (data) {
var tdTAG = span.parent(); // GET PARENT OF SPAN TAG
var trTAG = tdTAG.parent(); // GET PARENT OF TD TAG
trTAG.remove(); // DELETE TR TAG == DELETE AN ENTIRE TABLE ROW
} else {
alert('Sorry, there is some error.');
}
});
});
So in that case you don't know the class or id of the TR tag but anyway you are able to delete it.
Solution 13 - Javascript
$('tr').click(function()
{
$(this).remove();
});
i think you will try the above code, as it work, but i don't know why it work for sometime and then the whole table is removed. i am also trying to remove the row by click the row. but could not find exact answer.
Solution 14 - Javascript
I appreciate this is an old post, but I was looking to do the same, and found the accepted answer didn't work for me. Assuming JQuery has moved on since this was written.
Anyhow, I found the following worked for me:
$('#resultstbl tr[id=nameoftr]').remove();
Not sure if this helps anyone. My example above was part of a larger function so not wrapped it in an event listener.
Solution 15 - Javascript
id is not a good selector now. You can define some properties on the rows. And you can use them as selector.
<tr category="petshop" type="fish"><td>little fish</td></tr>
<tr category="petshop" type="dog"><td>little dog</td></tr>
<tr category="toys" type="lego"><td>lego starwars</td></tr>
and you can use a func to select the row like this (ES6):
const rowRemover = (category,type)=>{
$(`tr[category=${category}][type=${type}]`).remove();
}
rowRemover('petshop','fish');
Solution 16 - Javascript
If you are using Bootstrap Tables
add this code snippet to your bootstrap_table.js
BootstrapTable.prototype.removeRow = function (params) {
if (!params.hasOwnProperty('index')) {
return;
}
var len = this.options.data.length;
if ((params.index > len) || (params.index < 0)){
return;
}
this.options.data.splice(params.index, 1);
if (len === this.options.data.length) {
return;
}
this.initSearch();
this.initPagination();
this.initBody(true);
};
Then in your var allowedMethods = [
add 'removeRow'
Finally you can use $("#your-table").bootstrapTable('removeRow',{index:1});
Solution 17 - Javascript
The easiest method to remove rows from table:
- Remove row of table using its unique ID.
- Remove based on the order/index of that row. Ex: remove the third or fifth row.
For example:
<table id='myTable' border='1'>
<tr id='tr1'><td>Row1</td></tr>
<tr id='tr2'><td>Row2</td></tr>
<tr id='tr3'><td>Row3</td></tr>
<tr id='tr4'><td>Row4</td></tr>
<tr id='tr5'><td>Row5</td></tr>
</table>
//======REMOVE TABLE ROW=========
//1. remove spesific row using its ID
$('#tr1').remove();
//2. remove spesific row using its order or index.
//row index started from 0-n. Row1 index is 0, Row2 index is 1 and so on.
$('#myTable').find('tr:eq(2)').remove();//removing Row3
