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

I had a similar problem with the following not working...

// This doesn't catch flac or Flac
$('div.story span.Quality:not(:contains("FLAC"))').css("background-color", 'yellow');

This works and without the need for an extension

$('div.story span.Quality:not([data*="flac"])').css("background-color", 'yellow');

This works too, but probably falls into the "manually looping" category....

$('div.story span.Quality').contents().filter(function()
{
  return !/flac/i.test(this.nodeValue);
}).parent().css("background-color", 'yellow');
