I have the following situation within a report that has the following <td>
element. Please note that this can appear multiples times as it is a report.
My question is, when the value is ‘N’, using jQuery, I would like to remove the whole <a href> tag
and just display the value of ‘N’ alone, without the underline below it, otherwise if the value is ‘Y’ then leave it as it is.
For example:
<td align="center" headers="MPA_CHANGED"><a href="http://www.mysite.com" class="my-mpa">Y</a></td>
<td align="center" headers="MPA_CHANGED">N</td>
$('a').filter(function(){
return this.innerHTML === 'N';
}).replaceWith('N');

Add a class name of your choice so that you can have more control over your td elements out of all td elements present: for eg: "report_td"
so html look like this:
<td align="center" class="report_td" headers="MPA_CHANGED">...</td>
Then try like this:
$(function(){
$("td.report_td").each(function(i, e){
var tdElement = $(e);
var value = tdElement.find("a").text();
if(value == "N") {
tdElement.html("N");
}
});
});
$('a').each(function() {
if ( $(this).text() == 'N') {
$(this).replaceWith('N');
}
});
