how can I append a new row after a row which has a specific column value using Jquery?
For example, I wish to append a new row of column [NAME: CINDY AGE: 21] after 'Selina' because I wish to append a new row which is sorted by 'AGE' and [NAME: Tori AGE: 26] will be appended after 'Kelly'.
<table>
<tr>
<th>NAME</th>
<th>AGE</th>
</tr>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Alice</td>
<td>18</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Selina</td>
<td>20</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Kelly</td>
<td>25</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="NAME">
<input type="text" name="age" id="age" placeholder="AGE">
<button type="button" id="add_btn">ADD</button>
Thank you. Cheer :)
This should work:
jQuery('#add_btn').on('click',function(){
var age = jQuery('#age').val();
var name = jQuery('#name').val();
var target = jQuery('tbody > tr > td:last-child').filter(function(){
return jQuery(this).text() >= age;
}).first().parent();
if(target.length > 0)
target.before('<tr><td>'+name+'</td><td>'+age+'</td></tr>');
else
jQuery('tbody > tr:last').after('<tr><td>'+name+'</td><td>'+age+'</td></tr>');
});
