jquery val() contains()

Question

I want to know if the textarea value contains a certain word. This is not working for me.

var value = $(\'#embedModal textarea\').val();
if($(value).contains(\'i         


        

Answer 1

this works:

$.contains( document.documentElement, document.body ); // true

var babyEl = $('div#id');
var daddyEl = $('div#ID');

if($.contains(babyEl, daddyEl)) {
    //do fun stuff
}
