What is the best way to remove a table row with jQuery?

You're right:

$('#myTableRow').remove();

This works fine if your row has an id, such as:

<tr id="myTableRow"><td>blah</td></tr>

If you don't have an id, you can use any of jQuery's plethora of selectors.

$('#myTable tr').click(function(){
    $(this).remove();
    return false;
});

Even a better one

$("#MyTable").on("click", "#DeleteButton", function() {
   $(this).closest("tr").remove();
});

Assuming you have a button/link inside of a data cell in your table, something like this would do the trick...

$(".delete").live('click', function(event) {
    $(this).parent().parent().remove();
});

This will remove the parent of the parent of the button/link that is clicked. You need to use parent() because it is a jQuery object, not a normal DOM object, and you need to use parent() twice, because the button lives inside a data cell, which lives inside a row....which is what you want to remove. $(this) is the button clicked, so simply having something like this will remove only the button:

$(this).remove();

While this will remove the data cell:

    $(this).parent().remove();

If you want to simply click anywhere on the row to remove it something like this would work. You could easily modify this to prompt the user or work only on a double-click:

$(".delete").live('click', function(event) {
    $(this).parent().remove();
});

Hope that helps...I struggled on this a bit myself.

Easy.. Try this

$("table td img.delete").click(function () {
    $(this).parent().parent().parent().fadeTo(400, 0, function () { 
        $(this).remove();
    });
    return false;
});

Is the following acceptable:

$('#myTableRow').remove();

All you have to do is to remove the table row (<tr>) tag from your table. For example here is the code to remove the last row from the table:

$('#myTable tr:last').remove();

*Code above was taken from this jQuery Howto post.

function removeRow(row) {
    $(row).remove();
}

<tr onmousedown="removeRow(this)"><td>Foo</td></tr>

Maybe something like this could work as well? I haven't tried doing something with "this", so I don't know if it works or not.

$('tr').click(function()
 {
  $(this).remove();
 });

i think you will try the above code, as it work, but i don't know why it work for sometime and then the whole table is removed. i am also trying to remove the row by click the row. but could not find exact answer.

id is not a good selector now. You can define some properties on the rows. And you can use them as selector.

<tr category="petshop" type="fish"><td>little fish</td></tr>
<tr category="petshop" type="dog"><td>little dog</td></tr>
<tr category="toys" type="lego"><td>lego starwars</td></tr>

and you can use a func to select the row like this (ES6):

const rowRemover = (category,type)=>{
   $(`tr[category=${category}][type=${type}]`).remove();
}

rowRemover('petshop','fish');

If you are using Bootstrap Tables

add this code snippet to your bootstrap_table.js

BootstrapTable.prototype.removeRow = function (params) {
    if (!params.hasOwnProperty('index')) {
        return;
    }

    var len = this.options.data.length;

    if ((params.index > len) || (params.index < 0)){
        return;
    }

    this.options.data.splice(params.index, 1);

    if (len === this.options.data.length) {
        return;
    }

    this.initSearch();
    this.initPagination();
    this.initBody(true);
};

Then in your var allowedMethods = [

add 'removeRow'

Finally you can use $("#your-table").bootstrapTable('removeRow',{index:1});

The easiest method to remove rows from table:

1. Remove row of table using its unique ID.
2. Remove based on the order/index of that row. Ex: remove the third or fifth row.

For example:

 <table id='myTable' border='1'>
    <tr id='tr1'><td>Row1</td></tr>
    <tr id='tr2'><td>Row2</td></tr>
    <tr id='tr3'><td>Row3</td></tr>
    <tr id='tr4'><td>Row4</td></tr>
    <tr id='tr5'><td>Row5</td></tr>
  </table>

//======REMOVE TABLE ROW=========
//1. remove spesific row using its ID
$('#tr1').remove();

//2. remove spesific row using its order or index.
//row index started from 0-n. Row1 index is 0, Row2 index is 1 and so on.
$('#myTable').find('tr:eq(2)').remove();//removing Row3

This is undoubtedly the easiest way:

$("#your_tbody_tag").empty();
