Is there a CSS selector for elements containing certain text?

Question

I am looking for a CSS selector for the following table:

Peter    | male    | 34
Susanne  | female  | 12

Is there any selector to match all

Answer 1

As CSS lacks this feature you will have to use JavaScript to style cells by content. For example with XPath's contains:

var elms = document.evaluate( "//td[contains(., 'male')]", node, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null )

Then use the result like so:

for ( var i=0 ; i < elms.snapshotLength; i++ ){
   elms.snapshotItem(i).style.background = "pink";
}
