Jquery show/hide table rows

I want to be able to show/hide the rows in a table using jquery. Ideally I want to have buttons above the table to sort the table with.

i.e [Show rows with id:black] [Show rows with id:white] [Show all rows]

I have searched all over but cannot find a solution. Anyone know how i can do this with jquery and make it cross browser compatible?

Thanks (Code below)

<table class="someclass" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="bla bla bla">
<caption>bla bla bla</caption>
<thead>
  <tr id="black">
    <th>Header Text</th>
    <th>Header Text</th>
    <th开发者_如何转开发>Header Text</th>
    <th>Header Text</th>
    <th>Header Text</th>
    <th>Header Text</th>
  </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
  <tr id="white">
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
</tr>
  <tr id="black">
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
    <td>Some Text</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

Change your black and white IDs to classes instead (duplicate IDs are invalid), add 2 buttons with the proper IDs, and do this:

var rows = $('table.someclass tr');

$('#showBlackButton').click(function() {
    var black = rows.filter('.black').show();
    rows.not( black ).hide();
});

$('#showWhiteButton').click(function() {
    var white = rows.filter('.white').show();
    rows.not( white ).hide();
});

$('#showAll').click(function() {
    rows.show();
});

---

<button id="showBlackButton">show black</button>
<button id="showWhiteButton">show white</button>
<button id="showAll">show all</button>

<table class="someclass" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="bla bla bla">
    <caption>bla bla bla</caption>
    <thead>
          <tr class="black">
            ...
          </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr class="white">
            ...
        </tr>
        <tr class="black">
           ...
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

It uses the filter()^[docs] method to filter the rows with the black or white class (depending on the button).

Then it uses the not()^[docs] method to do the opposite filter, excluding the black or white rows that were previously found.

EDIT: You could also pass a selector to .not() instead of the previously found set. It may perform better that way:

rows.not( `.black` ).hide();

// ...

rows.not( `.white` ).hide();

...or better yet, just keep a cached set of both right from the start:

var rows = $('table.someclass tr');
var black = rows.filter('.black');
var white = rows.filter('.white');

$('#showBlackButton').click(function() {
    black.show();
    white.hide();
});

$('#showWhiteButton').click(function() {
    white.show();
    black.hide();
});

The filter function wasn't working for me at all; maybe the more recent version of jquery doesn't perform as the version used in above code. Regardless; I used:

    var black = $('.black');
    var white = $('.white');

The selector will find every element classed under black or white. Button functions stay as stated above:

    $('#showBlackButton').click(function() {
           black.show();
           white.hide();
    });

    $('#showWhiteButton').click(function() {
           white.show();
           black.hide();
    });
