Javascript - check if div contains a word?

Question

How can I check if a div contains a certain word?

var divs= document.getElementsByTagName(\'div\');
for (var i = 0, len = divs.length; i < len; ++i) {

           


        

Answer 1

You have to use a comparison operator not assign a variable.

if (divs[i].text == '*word*'){

I would recommend to use indexOf.

if (divs[i].text.indexOf('*word*') != -1){

Answer 2

In addition to what others said about using .indexOf() function, I'd like to say .text is not a div node property. User .innerHTML

if (divs[i].innerHTML.indexOf('word') > -1){}
