Question

How can i check <a href="#">sometext</a> equals something, trying to reach something like this:

$('a').click(function() {
    if ($("a:contains('sometext')")) {
        alert('sometext');
    }
    else {
        alert('text');  
    }
});

almost…. Either:

$('a:contains("something")').click(function(){
  // pass
});

To only bind to elements with the specified text, or:

$('a').click(function(){
  if ($(this).text().indexOf('something') !== -1){
    // pass
  }
});

to check at the time of clicking.
