How do you find a text string and hide it with jquery.

<div class="report-box">
  <div class="title">test</div>
  <table>
    <tbody>
      <tr align="center" class="CellLabel">
        <td colspan="2">Day at a Glance</td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="CellLabel">
        <td>New Clients</td>
        <td>00000</td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="CellLabel">
      <  td>Money Received</td>
        <td>$ 0000,000.0000</td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="CellLabel">
        <td>Overdue Invoices</td>
        <td>0000000</td>
      </tr>
      <tr class="CellLabel">
        <td>Services</td>
        <td>000000</td>
      </tr>
      <tr align="right" class="CellLabel">
        <td colspan="2"></td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

How would I remove

<tr class="CellLabel">
  <td>Money Received</td>
  <td>$ 0000,000.0000</td>
</tr>

from the code using a jquery.

[`:contains`](http://api.jquery.com/contains-selector/) followed by `.hide()` or `.remove()`, depending on your intention. Either way, it's still in the source code, so it's just invisible, not actually deleted. — Blazemonger, Jun 18 '12 at 17:31

First off, your html is a bit messy, lacks a few tags. But here you go. ;)

1:

Preview - http://jsfiddle.net/Xpc63/1/

$('.CellLabel').removeByContent('Money');

See preview for full JS code.

2:

Preview - http://jsfiddle.net/ahzPs/1/

$('.CellLabel').contains('Money').remove();

See preview for full JS code.

3:

Preview - http://jsfiddle.net/mWtzw/

$('.CellLabel').filter(function() {
    return $(this).html().indexOf('Money') != -1;
}).remove();

You could use the contains selector method:

$('td:contains("$ 0000,000.0000")').parent().hide();  //to hide

$('td:contains("$ 0000,000.0000")').parent().remove();  //to remove

Or, if you just want to remove or hide the td that contains the text:

$('td:contains("$ 0000,000.0000")').hide();  //to hide

$('td:contains("$ 0000,000.0000")').remove();  //to remove

// just want to remove
$('.cellLabel').find('td:contains("Money Received")').parent.remove();

Or

 // if just want to hide
 $('.cellLabel').find('td:contains("Money Received")').parent.hide();
