Delete table without id using jquery

Question

I have the following dynamically generated table on a page along with other tables on a page. I need to delete this table that does not have an identifier. There is one of two ways that I can think of to target a table for deletion, since they never change.

Under class = "matching_results_text" or under the text "You are here"

I just don’t know how to do it.

I tried $ ("table"). remove (": contains ('You are here:')"); but it didn’t work.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
          <tr> 
            <td>        
                <b>You are here: <a href="http://www.test.com">Home</a> &gt; <a href="http://www.test.com/Ignition-Controls-s/30.htm" title="Ignition Controls">Ignition Controls</a></b>
<div class="matching_results_text">We found 10 results matching your criteria.</div>

 </td>
          </tr>
        </table>

Answer 2

$("table").each(function() {
    var thisTable = $(this);
    if($(this).children().is(":contains('You are here')")) {
        thisTable.remove();
    }
});

A simpler way:

$("table:contains('You are here')").remove();
