I have div on top which contains User Name and another table that has multiple rows with different user names in each row.
If any table cell has the same name as the top div, I want to run the function. The function will change the class on button of ‘Remove row’ of the same row not others.
Note: the name inside the top div will change as per browsing user
I tried by myself but I am not an expert in jQuery or JavaScript.
$(function() {
var topDivName = $('.topDiv .nameContainer span').text();
var tableUserName = $(".table td .nameLink").filter(function() {
return $(this).text() === "LastName2, FirstName2"
});
if (topDivName === tableUserName) {
$(tableUserName).closest('tr').find('button').removeClass('hide').addClass('show');
} else {
console.log('no matches exist');
}
});.hide {
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
}
.show {
display: inline-block;
visibility: visible;
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="topDiv">
<div class="nameContainer">
<span>LastName2, FirstName2</span>
</div>

The issue in your logic is that you’re comparing topDivName, which is a string, to tableUserName, which is a jQuery object.
A better approach would be to use each() to loop through the table cells to find a match, and then show the button on the current row if the match is found. Below is a working example of how to do that. Note the additional use of trim() to ensure that whitespace does not affect the comparison.
jQuery(function($) {
var topDivName = $('.topDiv .nameContainer span').text().trim();
$(".table td .nameLink").each(function() {
$(this).closest('tr').find('button').toggleClass('show', $(this).text().trim() === topDivName);
});
});table button {
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
}
.show {
display: inline-block;
visibility: visible;
}<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="topDiv">
<div class="nameContainer">
<span>LastName2, FirstName2</span>
</div>
