jquery - Which jQuery attribute do I need to use to find specific text?

Question

I'm trying to target the a tags that contain the html next » and add a class to that tag. I have tried using jQuery's contains but obviously it didn't work since I'm here.

$('a').contains('next »').addClass('next');

Which attribute do I need to use for this?

Answer 1

You are looking for the :contains() selector (ref):

$('a:contains("next »")').addClass('next');
