Is there a case insensitive jQuery :contains selector?

Question

Is there a case insensitive version of the :contains jQuery selector or should I do the work manually by looping over all elements and comparing their .text() to my string?<

Answer 1

As of jQuery 1.3, this method is deprecated. To get this to work it needs to be defined as a function:

jQuery.expr[':'].Contains = function(a,i,m){
    return jQuery(a).text().toUpperCase().indexOf(m[3].toUpperCase())>=0;
};
