Regex to find word on page including inside tags

Question

Thanks to Chetan Sastry I have this Regex code to parse my page for a list of words and add the TM to them.

var wordList = [\"jQuery UI\", \"jQuery\", \"is\"];
v

If you are only trying to replace words within a link then the following should work:

var wordList = ["jQuery UI", "jQuery", "is"];
var regExp = new RegExp("\\b" + wordList.join("\\b|\\b") + "\\b", "g");
var $elem = $("#divWithText a");
$elem.html($elem.html().replace(regExp, "$&™"));
