Using a contains with variables in an if statement
I have am fairly new to jquery and was wondering what the best way to check to see if one variable contains another. My first var is a string of values. example Value1;Value2;Value3. I have tried various approaches but none have worked.
$(".EI-Disc-Outer").each(function(i){
var metadata = $(this).find('.EI-Metadata').html();
var pageMetaTitle = ";" + pageTitle;
if("metadata:contains(pageMetaTitle)"){
$(this).find('img').addClass('EI-Disc-Opacity');
$(this).find('.EI-Discipline-Item').addClass('EI-NonDiscipline');
}
//alert (pageMetaTitle);
});
Thanks
