JQuery - Hide table rows that contain specific HTML in a cell?

JavaScript
1

How can I use jquery to cycle through all the table rows I have in a table, and hide the rows that contain a specific HTML value that I pass to jquery?

For instance, I have a table full of students, and courses each student is taking. If I want to hide all the rows where the course is Chemistry (regardless of student), how would I do that?

I already have captured the HTML value, what I mainly need help with is how to tell jquery to hide ALL of the rows with that HTML value, rather than just the row I click on.

Thanks in advance!

Figured this out… originally I was trying to look through all the table rows, but then I tried this and it worked:

var hide_me = $(“tr:contains(”+hide_value+“)”);
hide_me.hide();

Thanks!
