Your HTML table not valid at all! Please fix it first...

I checked up: this is formally valid both XML (well-formed) and HTML, even though it make no practical sense...

It may be a valid XML, but definitely not a valid HTML. TR elements can only contain TH or TD elements according to standard HTML...

Of course. And I can see those invalid TR now, thank you. This HTML is still rendered, but browser tend to render invalid HTMLs; everything should be validated as XHTML. You are right: this non-HTML should be fixed first.

Thank you.

It's hard to see that in the mess OP has here :-)

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 30-Jun-14 14:20pm

Moreover, there is no need to see it. As you correctly pointed out, OP should first fix the HTML. Maybe transforming it is not really needed.

By the way, in case you down-voted my answer: my answer is still valid. And I updated it.

Not me - sorry...

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 30-Jun-14 14:18pm

Oh, no problem at all, just checking...

It's fairly easy, but why? Why having redundant HTML markup in first place? Just checking if the problem makes any practical sense...

If it made any sense (which I double, please see my comment to the question), I would advise to use, instead of stuctureless replace, direct DOM manipulations: http://api.jquery.com/category/manipulation/dom-removal[^].

[EDIT]

As Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter correctly pointed out, your HTML is absolutely invalid, so first, you need to address it: how did you get that invalid HTML in first place? When I say "if it made any sense", I meant that your request does no seem to make any practical sense.
