<div>some reallllly realllyyy long text</div>
will render some reallllly realllyyy long text
because html removes line breaks.
but can't find div
using :contains()
css selector because of line break:
// returns empty array $(':contains("some reallllly realllyyy long text")');
is there way select div , ignore line-break?
note: don't want add line break in selector, want able select div
without knowing there line break (because use text user can see, , can't see line break)
what overriding :contains
selector :
$.expr[":"].contains = $.expr.createpseudo(function(arg) { return function( elem ) { return $(elem).text().replace(/(\n)+/g, " ").indexof(arg) >= 0; }; });
see fiddle
with such solution, don't have change in code add piece of code. not practice.
of course name selector other way. in case, use both of behaviours :
$.expr[":"].mycontains
see other fiddle
