Custom Browser Selector - Exact Text

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by CL-23071418-0 4

I am trying to select a browser element that contains exact text.

<span>My Text</span>

<span>My Text and Other Text</span>

 

span.filter(function() {return $(this).text()==='My Text';})

 

Should this work?  Are there any limits imposed on the jQuery selectors?

    Update:  I ended up "extracting data from web page" into a datatable then performing a For Each loop on each element to find the one I needed.

     

    I then passed the index of the found item to the UI Element with span:eq(%myIndex%)
