How can I set color of jack as red? I have to use .find() API `

<div>linda</div>

.find()

Get the descendants of each element in the current set of matched elements, filtered by a selector, jQuery object, or element.

text is none of the above.

$('div').each(function(){

if ($(this).text()=='jack') $(this).css({color:'red'});

})

Find would be used if you were already manipulating the set in which that div may exist

<div>linda</div>

<div>george</div>

</div>

<div>simon</div>

<div>peter</div>

<div>samantha</div>

</div>

$('.somewrapper').each(function(){

// something other js going on here

$(this).find('div').each(function(){

if ($(this).text()=='jack') $(this).css({color:'red'});

})

});
