jQuery each() restriction

Question

Is it possible to restrict where it looks for the certain text?

$(data,'table tr').each(function(){

});

Is what I have right now. Am I any where near right?

can you expand on what you are trying to do? you code is iterating through all rows in "data" where data is a DOM object — Reina, Oct 26 '11 at 03:17

See jQuery() (aka the $() function) and see the supported forms.

It would likely be $(selector, context) where context is "A DOM Element, Document, or jQuery".

Alternatively, create a jQuery object and then apply the appropriate traversing function(s).

Happy coding.

that's one of those things I know, but never think of using for some reason. – Joe Oct 26 '11 at 03:01

I believe this is what you're looking for: How to skip to next iteration in jQuery.each() util?

var arr = [ "one", "two", "three", "four", "five" ];
$.each(arr, function(i) {
    if(arr[i] == 'three') {
        return true;
    }
    alert(arr[i]);
});

You can check certain conditions on the tr, like, does it have children? And if so, skip to the next iteration.
