Jquery remove class not working on table rows - php

Question

I posted another question for issue and it was partially solved. I have a table with a single link on each row. The link calls AJAX and outputs in another Bootstrap column. This works fine. When I click the link, the class "highlight" is applied which changes the background color of the row. When I click another link I want the previously clicked clink to have the "highlight" class removed and the new row to have the class applied.
Currently, the add class works but any other link click get the class added but the class is never removed.

Answer 1

Try something like this in your on click function and let me know.
$('tr a').click(function() {
$("#mashed_tab tr").find("." + selClass).removeClass(selClass);
$(this).parent().parent().addClass(selClass); });
