I have a table populated via a DB and it renders like so (it could have any number of columns referring to "
time", 5 columns, 8 columns, 2 columns, etc):
<table id="eventInfo">
<tr>
<td class="name">John</td>
<td class="date">Dec 20</td>
<td class="**time**">2pm</td>
<td class="**time**">3pm</td>
<td class="**time**">4pm</td>
<td class="event">Birthday</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="name">Billy</td>
<td class="date">Dec 19</td>
<td class="**time**">6pm</td>
<td class="**time**">7pm</td>
<td class="**time**">8pm</td>
<td class="event">Birthday</td>
</tr>
With jQuery, I'd like to go through each Table Row and incrementally set an additional class-name on only the Table Cells where "class='
time'" so that the result would be:
John
Dec 20
2pm
3pm
4pm
Birthday
Billy
Dec 19
6pm
7pm
8pm
Birthday
I've only been able to get it to count all of the Table Cells where "class='
time'" and not each set within its own Table Row. This is what I've tried with jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("table#eventInfo tr").each(function() {
var tcount = 0;
$("td.
time").attr("class", function() {
return "timenum-" + tcount++;
})
//writes out the results in each TD
.each(function() {
$("span", this).html("(class = '<b>" + this.className + "</b>')");
});
});
});
Unfortunately, this only results in:
<table id="eventInfo">
<tr>
<td class="name">John</td>
<td class="date">Dec 20</td>
<td class="**time** **timenum-1**">2pm</td>
<td class="**time** **timenum-2**">3pm</td>
<td class="**time** **timenum-3**">4pm</td>
<td class="event">Birthday</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="name">Billy</td>
<td class="date">Dec 19</td>
<td class="**time** **timenum-4**">6pm</td>
<td class="**time** **timenum-5**">7pm</td>
<td class="**time** **timenum-6**">8pm</td>
<td class="event">Birthday</td>
</tr>
Thanks for your help!
