dom - Jquery removing element from html -

i have html var content = $("#directions-panel > .adp").find("div[jsinstance='"+i+"']").prop('outerhtml');

i'm attempting remove first table column within html.

here attempt not working.

content.findr(".adp-directions > tbody > tr > td.adp-substep:eq(0)").remove(); 

your code remove first cell class adp-substep. instead of doing, try:

content.find(".adp-directions > tbody > tr").each(function(){   jquery(this).find("> td.adp-substep:eq(0)").detach(); //or remove }); 

the code above remove first cell of each table row.
