Get all rows in the “current” table, and not from child tables

Question

How can you get all rows in a table without getting the rows in child tables?

var rows = $(\'tr\', tbl);

This will return ALL

Answer 1

If you just want the count of rows, you can simply use:

var table = document.getElementById('tableID');  
table.rows.length;  

Or you can use direct children selector:

$('table > tbody > tr').each(function(index, tr) {} );
