Assuming i have:
<li id="1">Mary</li> <li id="2">John, Mary, Dave</li> <li id="3">John, Dave, Mary</li> <li id="4">John</li> If i need to find all <li> Elements which contain "John" and "Mary", how would i construct the jQuery?
A search for a single string seems easy:
$('li:contains("John")').text() I am looking for something like the following pseudo code:
$('li:contains("John")' && 'li:contains("Mary")').text() Thanks!

Definition and Usage. The element selector can also be used to select multiple elements. Note: Seperate each element with a comma.
The :contains() selector selects elements containing the specified string. The string can be contained directly in the element as text, or in a child element. This is mostly used together with another selector to select the elements containing the text in a group (like in the example above).
jQuery selectors allow you to select and manipulate HTML element(s). jQuery selectors are used to "find" (or select) HTML elements based on their name, id, classes, types, attributes, values of attributes and much more. It's based on the existing CSS Selectors, and in addition, it has some own custom selectors.
Which is the correct jQuery selector statement to select all <div> elements? Explanation: The statement $("div") is the correct syntax to select all <div> elements.
To find li's that have text containing BOTH Mary AND John:
$('li:contains("Mary"):contains("John")') To find li's that have text containing EITHER Mary OR John:
$('li:contains("Mary"), li:contains("John")') Just think of the :contains as if it was a class declaration, like .class:
$('li.one.two'). // Find <li>'s with classes of BOTH one AND two $('li.one, li.two'). // Find <li>'s with a class of EITHER one OR two It's the same with :contains:
$('li:contains("Mary"):contains("John")'). // Both Mary AND John $('li:contains("Mary"), li:contains("John")'). // Either Mary OR John http://jsbin.com/ejuzi/edit
