I just tried it and it worked fine. My guess is you don't properly close tags inside your table. Here's what I just did and it worked fine:
<table border="1"> <tr> <td>Some Data</td> <td><a href="#">Foo</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Some Data 2</td> <td><a href="#">Foo</a></td> </tr> </table> $(function() { $('table a').click(function() { $(this).ancestors('tr').hide(); }); }); --Erik On 11/27/06, Bruce MacKay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanks Erik, Unfortunately your line of code hid all the rows in the table, including the one that was clicked. If I just wanted to hide the row that was clicked, how would your line be altered? Bruce At 10:38 a.m. 28/11/2006, you wrote: $("tr").hide() matches all tr tags and hides them. If you want to hide the tr that contained the link that was clicked, you might try something like this: $("#tbl_assetList a").click(function(){$(this).ancestors("tr").hide()}); That will hide all the TR tags that are "up" the DOM tree from the clicked link. That may have undesirable affects if you have nested tables, but that could be worked around. --Erik On 11/27/06, *Bruce MacKay* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi folks, I have a tabulated set of data (table id=tbl_assetList), with the last column of each row providing a "delete it" link to the following function... function fnDeleteNodeTransaction(ni,pi,ai){ $("#theIndicator3").show(); $("#tbl_assetList a").click(function(){$("tr").hide()}); $.get("scripts/ajax_ramosus_editor.asp?id=4&pblID="+pi+"&iAssetID="+ai+"&nodeID="+ni, function(responseText){ $("#currentAssetsTable").html(responseText).highlightFade({color:'yellow',speed:2000,iterator:'sinusoidal'}); $("#theIndicator3").hide(); }); } My attempt at hiding the deleted item's row (line 3) is successful in hiding the entire table for reasons that are not obvious to me, but I suspect are clearly obvious to you. I'd appreciate some illumination here.
