[...] isn't there a big performance impact using this piece of code?
That's why I said play around a bit ;^) I threw that idea out there mostly because it is sort of inside-out from style that I would probably have tried first and it was just building off the previous example. That sort of thing helps me get out of a rut sometimes. My first stab at it would have normally been closer to Mike's #2 suggestion; a nested for loop for the td's. Just out of curiosity is there a way to break out while iterating with .each()? Again building on the previous example (Mike's #2 this time): $(function() { $('tr').each( function() { var allEmpty = true; $('td', this).each(funcion() { if(this.innerHTML !== ' ' ) { allEmpty = false; // Is it possible to break out of the td.each() here? } }); allEmpty && $(this).addClass( 'allEmptyTds' ); }); }); Mike - Thanks but I can't take credit for mark and sweep. I think I got it while working on garbage collection in an OS class years ago. On 4/27/07, Feed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanks Ian, it seem to be working perfectly. I just have one more question: isn't there a big performance impact using this piece of code? It looks like the page it taking a while do load, but I guess you have to choose between the time the page takes to load and the time you take to do everything manually.. am I right?
