I have an array of strings, I want to use jQuery to see if a particular string is contained within the array?
Can i do this with jQuery>?

jQuery has() Method The has() method returns all elements that have one or more elements inside of them, that matches the specified selector. Tip: To select elements that have multiple elements inside of them, use comma (see example below).
Use the :not() CSS selector.
In the first formulation listed above, jQuery() — which can also be written as $() — searches through the DOM for any elements that match the provided selector and creates a new jQuery object that references these elements: 1. $( "div.
The text inside the returned element is checked for the innerText property to see if it matches the text required. A successful match means that the text inside the selected unordered list has the required text. Check if ul has li with a specific text in jQuery.
You can use $.inArray() and check that the result is not == -1, like this:
var arr = [ "string1", "string2" ];
jQuery.inArray("string1", arr) // returns 0
jQuery.inArray("string2", arr) // returns 1
jQuery.inArray("string3", arr) // returns -1
And for the flame wars about "why use jquery?" here...it's because older IE (and maybe current IIRC) doesn't have the Array.indexOf function, $.indexOf() will use the built-in Array.indexOf is it's present, it's just a wrapper to take care of IE not having this.
Alternatively, you can add the Array.indexOf method if it's not present, bobince shows how to do that here.
