Here’s a very simple way of deleting a row in a table, when a user clicks on it. With jQuery, the efforts required to achieve this requirement is just 2 lines of code.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title></title>
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('table tr.del').click(function() {
$(this).remove();
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr class="del">
<td>Row 0 Column 0</td>
<td >Row 0 Column 1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="del">
<td>Row 1 Column 0</td>
<td>Row 1 Column 1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="del">
<td>Row 2 Column 0</td>
<td>Row 2 Column 1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="del">
<td>Row 3 Column 0</td>
<td>Row 3 Column 1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="del">
<td>Row 4 Column 0</td>
<td>Row 4 Column 1</td>
</tr>
<tr class="del">
<td>Row 5 Column 0</td>
<td>Row 5 Column 1</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
When you preview the code, you see a screen similar to the following :
Now click on a Row , let us say Row 3. What do you observe? Well it gets deleted!
If you want to achieve the same in an ASP.NET GridView, check out my article over here

5 Responses to "Using jQuery to Delete a Row in a Table by just Clicking on it"if you can show me how to hide (not delete) it, that means hide it and leave a small mark to show that row again when the mark is clicked, then I'll be very thankful.
You would just have to change the .remove() to .hide()
you can use another method just add an id to the whole table and you won't need to add class to every tr
$(document).ready(function() { $('table#test tbody tr').click(function() {
$(this).css('backgroundColor', '#CCC').fadeOut('slow', function() { $(this).remove() });
});
});
good one cipgraphics. I feel author wanted to identify rows which can be deleted, hence added the class. Both approach are good in their own applications.
