[jQuery] this:contains selector
The contains selector works fine with tags (a:contains()) etc. but
doesn't seem to work with $(this). What is the best way to use
contains with "this"??
here is my scenario:
var matchingText = "Text2";
<ul class="list">
<li><a href="#">Text1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Text2</a></li>
</ul>
I want to see if the text in matchingText matches text in any of the
anchor tags. My goal is to add a class to the anchor tag that has
matching text and would like to use the ul.list selector to run
through each of the n amount of anchor tags (descendants of ul class
"list")
I've tried selecting them in-line, or with a .each() loop and each
time I cant seem to match using jQuery syntax...
Thanks for the help.
