Answer 1

Use the :not() selector that is part of the jquery framework. Something like $('tr:not(:contains("pc"))') should do the trick.

This is the one that I ended up using, thanks a lot. Actually, I cheated :3 I was not using Jquery, but phpquery, and I was having problems using the .not function. – Ladykiller

:not is actually standard css. It's :contains that's jquery specific. – Peipus

Answer 2

$('tr').not(':contains("pc")')

Answer 4

$("tr:not(:contains("pc"))")

if you use simple quotes with double quotes mixed in the same sentence, it doesn't work
