How do i use jQuery to remove this  <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank"></a>  tag from the LastName column values for all the Employees with the title 'Sales Representative'?

I was thinking of using the jquery remove attribute but not sure if that is the best way.
Anyone know how?

Try this:
$('#TableEmployees tr:has(td:eq(3):contains("Sales Representative"))').each(function(){
    var td1 = $(this).children('td:eq(1)');
    td1.html(td1.html().replace(/<a href="http:\/\/www.google.com" target="_blank">([^<]*)<\/a>/i, '$1'));
});

Open in new window
