How to remove nodes of HTML

I'm not sure if I'm doing this as well as it can be done and if anyone has a better way, please let me know.

I have a table of data that's pushed onto a page with AJAX. The user has the option of deleting these data. If there are no more data to delete, I want the row to be removed from the list.

I'm not sure how, and would like to know if I can remove a row of data with no id attached to the row itself.

Here is what one of the table rows of data looks like

<tr>
  <td data-pid="2"><a data-pid="2" href="#">test</a></td>
  <td><a data-pid="2" class="manage-icon" href="#"><img alt="" src="delete.png"></a></td>
</tr>

This is what I'm using to get the id
$(this).attr('data-pid');

Try

$('a[data-pid="' + pid + '"]').closest('tr').remove();

.closest()

use

$(this).data('pid');

instead of

$(this).attr('data-pid');

.data()

.parents() for all matching ancestor elements.

closest() for the first closest matching element (either an ancestor or self).

.closest() is better and faster in your case

You want to remove that tr?

$(function() {
    $('img').click(function() {
        var a = $(this).parent();
        if(confirm('Delete?')) {
            var pid = a.data('pid');
            //do ajax remove;
            a.parents('tr').remove();
        }
    });
});
