Question

Beer


Vodka

how can you select beer ? or rum ? in jquery ? they are not surrounded by any html tags....

Answer 1

What about a little DOM altering? First select nodes, which contain desired string, than run a function, which replaces every occurence of "string" with "string"

We need no external plugins for this

    Vodka 

    Rum 

    Whiskey

I've created this script really fast, so don't judge harshly :) (and it's 2:28AM :-D)
