get data from a remote site - html table - javascript

I want to create a html page that get data from a website table (not a database table -html one)
The code looks sorda like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/wpVtc/
I tried to use jQuery ".find" but I couldn't get it to work.
It dosn't have ANY classes of id's .
Then, when I get the data I want to display only that.
Thank u!
~Stephan
EDIT:
The data is always going to be at the same place and it as always going to end with either 'GB' or 'MB'.

If the data is always in the same position you could use .eq(n).
So if you example is:
<table>
<tr>
<tr> <--- i assume this is wrong
<td>
<table>
<tr>...</tr>
<tr>...</tr>
<tr>...</tr>
<tr>...</tr>
<tr>...</tr>
<tr>DATA I WANT</tr>
the selector would be:
"table tr td table tr:eq(6)"
See: http://api.jquery.com/eq-selector/
Another solution:
"table tr td table tr:contains(DATA I WANT)"
See: http://api.jquery.com/contains-selector/

How to add a note with an oddly shaped Javascript table

On my website I have a schedule optimization for semester, classes, times, and locations. After optimization is run, several tables of choices show up. I want to show an empty semester in the table. here is an example of what I mean:
I know my table looks ugly, but I can't put blanks in the table to make the columns / side complete because i'm running complex calculations on the data in the table that would get disrupted if I were to put blanks in (it would try to do look-ups on blanks). I can't tell it to ignore the box if it's a blank either (Just go with me here). So, is there a way to add a note in that area that says "No classes for this semester" programmatically? The results are often different sizes so I can't like hardcode in a location on my website for the note. I need it to just know where to go. I didn't think this was possible but wanted to pose the idea to you guys. Ideas?
This would be the end goal:
--tons of results in form of tables ---
one example result:
IF it is even possible to close in the table so it's a complete box that would be great. ****I NEED A JAVASCRIPT / JQUERY SOLUTION
UPDATED: Based on the replies so far, I tried this:
if(classes.length === 0){
var $noClasses = $('<td></td>').html('No Classes available');
$noClasses.colSpan = "3";
$table.append($noClasses);
}
and this gave me
Use rowspan and colspan to accommodate the 'awkwardness' of your table structure. The table structure is still standard, you're just wanting to span your cells across rows and/or columns:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html />
<html>
<head>
<style>
td,th{
border-style: groove;
}
</style>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Title1</th>
<th>Title2</th>
<th>Title3</th>
<th>Title4</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">Semester1</td>
<td>Class1</td>
<td>Time1</td>
<td>Loc1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Class2</td>
<td>Time2</td>
<td>Loc2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Class3</td>
<td>Time3</td>
<td>Loc3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Semester2</td>
<td colspan="3">No Classes available</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Semester3</td>
<td>Class1</td>
<td>Time1</td>
<td>Loc1</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Result
So here is the code that ended up working:
if(classes.length === 0){
var $noClasses = $('<td colspan="3"></td>').addClass('noClass').html("No Classes ");
}
but I had to take out some of the html/css from the javascript because it was getting too confusing to implement this part. I made a template with icanhaz and converted some of the code and then this worked.

Add selected row from a table to another table with Jquery and MVC3

I am using MVC 3, EF Model First on my project.
In my View I have 4 tables that look likes these.
<div class="questionsForSubjectType">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
Title
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
test
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
users should be able to select and add to another table lets say the table is following:
<table id="CustomPickedQuestions>
/* <----- Questions that users chose from the other tables /*
</table>
What I am looking for is that when a users click on a row, the row shall get removed and added to the CustomPickedQuestions, When the row is added to that table, the user should also be able to remove it from CustomPickedQuestions Table and then that row shall go back to the Table it was before.
I now wonder how I can accomplish this with help of client-side jquery scripting.
You've got far too much irrelevant complexity in you code (for the specific question you ask). The title is good, but not the code. Rather than posting your complex project code, create the simplest possible reproduction of the problem using the least amount of code/methods/properties (with common names, that is ProductID, ProductName, etc). part 3 of my tutorial shows how to do this.

How to select first td element and its text with Jquery

I want to change the "Yes! Pick me" into "Picked" with Jquery in the following HTML structure, I used $('#myDiv>table>tr>td>table>tr').eq(1).text("Picked"); But it was not working. Could someone shed some light on this please? Thanks!
FYI, the first td of the the first table itself contains another table...
<div id="myDiv">
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Yes! Pick me!</td>
<td>Not me..</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Not me..</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>Not me..</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Not me..</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
The section $('#myDiv>table>tr>td>table>tr>td').eq(1).text("Picked"); does the trick, I forgot the last td part. Thanks to Rocket and everyone's help.
Try this:
$("#myDiv table table td:first").text("Picked")
$('#myDiv').find('table table td').eq(0).text(...);
Start your selection at the #myDiv element ($('#myDiv')), then find all the TD element that are inside a table that is inside another table (.find('table table td')), then only alter the first one (.eq(0)).
Documentation:
.find(): http://api.jquery.com/find
.eq(): http://api.jquery.com/eq
The main problem is that you want .eq(0) not .eq(1) as .eq() is 0-based, and you are not selecting the td, only the tr.
Other than that using > direct descendant selectors makes your selection not very robust at all.
Try $('#myDiv table table td').eq(0).text('Picked');
You can try:
$("td:contains('Yes! Pick me!')").text("Picked"); ​
You can use the :contains(text) selector
$('#myDiv td table td:contains(Yes! Pick me!)').text('Picked');
Be careful with nested tables however because if you were to use just
$('#myDiv td:contains(Yes! Pick me!)').text('Picked');
You would get both the cell your after plus the cell it is nested within.
Your child selector query won't work because HTML5 requires the parser to insert <tbody> elements inside your <table> elements, since you've forgotten to put them in yourself. Perhaps you should consider validating your HTML?

Passing IDs of table rows

I am new to JavaScript and not long ago I ask the following question:
I have a normal HTML table where each row has its own id. What I want to achieve is that each time I click a link in a row the id for that row should be stored in a variable and later passed to a function. Let's say I click row#1 then id#1 should be passed and so on... How can I achieve this?
I got a very good answer. This example works in jsFiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/andrewwhitaker/9HEQk/
But if I copy the JavaScript and the table exactly like it is into a HTML file the whole thing just doesn't work and I can't find the answer. Could someone help me again please?
Thank you very much!
If all you need is the row id so why not using a simple code like this:
HTML:
<table id="table-one">
<tr id="row-one">
<td>one</td>
</tr>
<tr id="row-two">
<td>two</td>
</tr>
</table>
JS:
var lastRowId = -1;
function saveRow( id )
{
lastRowId = id;
}
Maybe I didn't fully understand what you asked?

How to remove an element without id

I have the following code:
<%-- other tags --%>
<table>
<tr width="100%">
<td width="130" />
<td id="BottomCell" width="100%" />
</tr>
<tr>
<td/>
<td/>
</tr>
</table>
<%-- other tags --%>
There may be more than one table on the page. I want the td before "BottomCell" to be removed (or hidden) when the page is loaded. How can I do this with javascript or css?
Thanks.
BTW, I'm developing a Sharepoint WebPart that will be put onto a page. The is on that page, which i don't have control of directly. But the WebPart should remove this as long as it shows up on the page.
Wow, going back to basics after using a framework is hard work.
var element = document.getElementById('BottomCell').previousSibling;
var parent = element.parentNode;
parent.removeChild(element);
In jQuery:
$('#BottomCell').prev().detach();
Well, assuming you have only one table, then you could do something like this (in javascript):
var firstCell = document.getElementsByTagName('tr')[0].getElementsByTagName('td')[0];
firstCell.parentNode.removeChild(firstCell);
It would get the first cell of the first row in the entire DOM tree, and remove that cell.
tr > td should do the trick.
Child and Sibling selectors
http://css-tricks.com/child-and-sibling-selectors/
#diodeus if there are only 2 data cells that would be acceptable, however if you wish to remove the first data cell regardless of however many cells are located in that row, you can do something like
var el = document.getElementById('BottomCell');
el.removeChild(el.parentNode.firstChild);
In jQuery I would find the parent and use the :first selector probably
