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

If someone (like me) is interested what do a and m[3] mean in Contains definition.

KEY/LEGEND: Params made available by jQuery for use in the selector definitions:

r = jQuery array of elements being scrutinised. (eg: r.length = Number of elements)

i = index of element currently under scrutiny, within array r.

a = element currently under scrutiny. Selector statement must return true to include it in its matched results.

m[2] = nodeName or * that we a looking for (left of colon).

m[3] = param passed into the :selector(param). Typically an index number, as in :nth-of-type(5), or a string, as in :color(blue).
