jquery find text inside <td>

问题

I'm playing around with some selectors, and I'm hitting a wall with selecting Text inside a cell.

Here's a simple attempt I'm making.

<table>
 <tr>
     <td>First Name</td>
     <td>*required</td>
  </tr>
</table> 

I want to change the class for that cell to be "red" - if the string "*required" is found.

Here's my attempt at the jquery:

$("td:contains('*required')").addClass("red");

It's causing all cells to apply that class, it seems. Any better ways to look for specific text?

What you have works, you can test it here, keep in mind that any parent <td> also contains that text though, to do an exact match do this:

$("td").filter(function() { return $.text([this]) == '*required'; })
       .addClass("red");

You can test it here.

You could always just use $.filter(), where only elements that the callback returns true for are included in the selection. For example:

$('td').filter(function(i) {
    $(this).html().indexOf('*required') >= 0;
});

Also: you'll want to be more specific with your selector - for efficiency, and also because of Nick's answer. Though if you're considering efficiency, you're better off not using a method that uses a callback in the first place. :)

As far as selectors go, consider using $('#tableID > tr > td')... or something similar.

You should not be using JavaScript to do this. What you should be using is a CSS class:

<table>
 <tr>
     <td>First Name</td>
     <td class="required">*required</td>
  </tr>
</table> 


<style type="text/css">
td.required {
    color:red;
}
</style>
