filter if a String contains a word

hi.

i use this code, (works fine)


$.post("verzenden.php", { note: content, action: "send", subject: subject },
      function(data){           
        $("#myspan").html(data);               
        $("#myspan:contains('error')").css("color", "red");
        $("#myspan:contains('succes')").css("color", "green");   
      });


i don't want to use :contains.

i like to use a IF, like:

if data contains the word error {
//do something
}
else{
//do something
}

can someone help?
