Using a contains with variables in an if statement

in Using jQuery • 9 years ago

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

Figured it out

$(".EI-Disc-Outer").each(function(i){

var pageMetaTitle = ";" + pageTitle;

if($(this).find(".EI-Metadata").not(":contains('" + pageMetaTitle +"')").text()){

$(this).find('img').addClass('EI-Disc-Opacity');

$(this).find('.EI-Discipline-Item').addClass('EI-NonDiscipline');

}

});

Not sure if this is the best way to do it but it worked for me.
