:contains for multiple words

Question

I am using the following jQuery

var etag = \'kate\'
if (etag.length > 0) {
    $(\'div\').each(function () {
        $(this).find(\'ul:not(:contains(\' +         


        

Answer 1

Another approach:

var etag='Some text from server';

if (etag.length > 0) {
    $('div ul').each(function () {
        var el = $(this); // Local reference
        (el.html() === etag) ? el.show() : el.hide(); 
    });
}​
