What operator works for equal in td .ms-vb2?

Question

I have used td .ms-vb2:contains but I need to match an exact value in a cell.

Answer 1

You can use the jQuery filter function to provide an exact match - http://api.jquery.com/filter/

For example:

$(document).ready(function(){ 

    $("td .ms-vb2").filter( function (index) {

       return $(this).text() == "Exact value to be matched";

    })
    .css("background-color", "red");

});
