How to select all anchor tags with specific text
Given multiple anchor tags:
<a class="myclass" href="...">My Text</a>
How do I select the anchors matching the class and with some specific text. eg Select all anchors with the class:'myclass' and text:'My Text'
Solution 1:
$("a.myclass:contains('My Text')")
Solution 2:
You could create a custom selector similar to :contains for exact matches:
$.expr[':'].containsexactly = function(obj, index, meta, stack)
{
return $(obj).text() === meta[3];
};
var myAs = $("a.myclass:containsexactly('My Text')");
