Is there any selector that fits the text perfectly?

Question

In jQuery, I am looking for a similar selector :contains , but I need to make a perfect match with the text of the element. Whether there is a?

 <div>1</div> <div>12</div> <div>13</div> <div>135</div> 

So if I search for text = 1 , I would only get the first div

Answer 1

This can be done like this:

 var str = "whatever"; $(".elements").filter(function() { return $(this).text() == str; }); 

Answer 2

You can do the following:

 $.extend($.expr[":"], { exactly: function( element, index, details, collection ){ return $(element).text() === details[3]; } }); $("div:exactly(Foo)").addClass("red"); $("div:exactly(230)").addClass("blu");
