manipulate cells of a list with jquery

Question

I am modifying the Allitems view of a list and want to select each row with a specific title and change the last cell of that row to show the thumbnail of an image with jquery.

var results = data.d.results;
for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
    $("tr.ms-vb").filter(":contains('" + results[i].Title + "')").each(function() {
        $("td.ms-vb-lastCell").append($("<img>").prop("websitelink/_t/" + results[i].Title + "_jpg.jpg"))
    });

it make no changes or even errors.I have tried different classes for the selector, but none of them worked. does someone has any idea that what is wrong?

Answer 1

Since 2010 you can stuff HTML in a Calculated Column,

so if I read your use-case correct you need the Formula:

=IF( FIND("needle",[Title]) , "<img src='websitelink/_t/" & [Title] & ".jpg'/>" )

For testing make it output as text to see if the created HTML is correct

Then switch the datatype to Number!!! ét voila (that's French) it works..

Remember: FIND is Case-Sensitive, use SEARCH if you do not care about the CaSe. More SP functions at http://viewmaster365.com/365coach/#/Calculated_Column_Functions_List
