How can I replace all “_“ in second td’s text of every row with a space using Jquery?

Hi,
I am getting the following html from a query result. Remember result is a string.

<table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0>
	<tr>
		<th class=Sub>#</th>
		<th class=Sub>File Name</th>
		<th class=Sub>Size</th>
		<th class=Sub>Date</th>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td width=40 align=right class=Data1>1.</td>
		<td class=Data1><a target=_blank href="/files/spool/404048/1075954/80_1267615_1075954/Sivaratnam_Suthakaran,_Dr._Peter_Cobrin,_Jan_20_2012,_IME_Guideline_Kit.pdf">Sivaratnam_Suthakaran,_Dr._Peter_Cobrin,_Jan_20_2012,_IME_Guideline_Kit.pdf</a>&nbsp;</td>
		<td align=right width=85 class=Data1>22 KB</td>
		<td align=right width=140 class=Data1>02/04/2012 8:5am</td>
	</tr>
</table>

How can I replace all “_“ in second td’s text of every row with a space using Jquery?
Thanks

Formatting your code a little makes it a lot easier for us to read it. I’ve done that now in your post but keep that in mind for the future.

Now, why do you wanna remove these underscores at all when it’s the exact file name? And if you really insist in doing this then it should be done server-side. The script that returns the query could easily be adapted to replace these underscores with whitespaces.

I can't make changes to the server side method. The link's text is longer than td's width and it doesn't wrap because of "_".

Hi,
I have done it myself. Thanks VIPStephan for all your help.
