Answer 2

+2 A:

I'm assuming that you want to take all the columns in each row, wrap them into a table inside a single column and then add a column to the row.

$('tr').each( function() {
   $(this).children().wrapAll('<td><table><tr></tr></table></td>');
   $(this).append('<td><input type="button" value="click1"></td>');
});

nice and clean maybe add the [id^='myitem'] check

Looked like it was applying to all rows to me.

cool thanks for the solution I hadn't used wrapAll before, I'll give it a try

Answer 3

A:

Use tr[id^='myitem'] to select it.

The selector <tag>[<attr>^='<prefix>'] selects all elements of the tag with attribute attr that starts with the prefix.

Here is the whole code:

<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>

function template(pStr, pAttrs) {
    return pStr.replace(/{\$([^}]*)\$}/g, function (a, pName) {
        return pAttrs[pName];
    });
}

const TDReplaceTemplate =
"   <td>"                                              + "\n" +
"    <table><tbody>"                                   + "\n" +
"     <tr>{$OrgTD$}</tr>"                              + "\n" +
"    </tbody></table>"                                 + "\n" +
"   </td>"                                             + "\n" +
"   <td><input type=\"button\" value=\"click1\"></td>" + "\n";

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("tr[id^='myitem']").each(function(aTR) {
        const aOrgTD = $(this).html();
        const aNewTD = template(TDReplaceTemplate, { OrgTD: aOrgTD } );
        $(this).html(aNewTD);
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table><tbody>
  <tr id="myitem1"><td>I need a coat1</td></tr>
  <tr id="myitem2"><td>I need a coat2</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps.

thanks I had done something like that, but the this.html() loses any form selection values so I couldn't use it.

claya 2009-11-03 03:23:53

??? Would you elaborate more how do you loose it? You have a form outside wrapping all the table with other input component?

NawaMan 2009-11-03 03:29:37

if user picked an item from a pull down select, that info would not be carried into the .html() output string
