jQuery
I have a standard HTML table that looks something like this in structure:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>FOOTER</td>
<td>
... other td columns
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>some other row that I don't want selected</td>
<td>
... other td columns
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
What I would like to do is select only the tr's that contain the text FOOTER in a td, and then set the font-weight to bold for all td's under the selected tr's. My problem is that the jQuery selector I have is setting all td's within the table to bold and I'm not sure why.
Here's my selector thus far:
$("tr:contains('FOOTER')").children("td").css("font-weight", "bold");
