Question

I have a problem about searching a text. I think it is Ja because of the whitespaces

This is my script that working.

$('td > a:contains("Hallow")').each(function(){
    if($(this).parent().next('td').text() == 'Secured') {
      alert("working well")
    }
    else {
      alert($(this).text());
    }
});

There is no whitespaces and my script is working : http://jsfiddle.net/FrE9Q/7/

<td width="140" align="right">Secured</td>

There is no whitespaces

Here is real html with whitespaces and my script isnt working: http://jsfiddle.net/FrE9Q/8/

        <td width="140" align="right">
        Secured
    </td>

Whitespaces…

Thank you for your helps.

Then remove trailing and leading white spaces, using $.trim ^[docs]:

if ($.trim($(this).parent().next('td').text()) === '...')
