How to find if a word or a substring is present in the given string. In this case, we will use the includes() method which determines whether a string contains the specified word or a substring. If the word or substring is present in the given string, the includes() method returns true; otherwise, it returns false.
To check if a div element contains specific text:Use the textContent property on the element to get the text content of the element and its descendants. Use the includes() method to check if the specific text is contained in the div . If it is, the includes() method returns true , otherwise false is returned.
jQuery find() Method The find() method returns descendant elements of the selected element. A descendant is a child, grandchild, great-grandchild, and so on. The DOM tree: This method traverse downwards along descendants of DOM elements, all the way down to the last descendant.
In jQuery, you can use the . length property to check if an element exists. if the element exists, the length property will return the total number of the matched elements. To check if an element which has an id of “div1” exists.
var isContains = $('#elementId').text().indexOf('some text') > -1; You can use the :contains() selector and check the .length to see if it matched anything, like this:
return $("#elementId:contains('some text')").length > 0; If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
