Question

I have repetitive nobr tags which I can’t add ID nor Class.

How do I find a specific nobr tag which contains a string of text?

<nobr>Due Date</nobr>
<nobr>Test</nobr>
<nobr>Hello</nobr>

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('<nobr>Due Date').append('<span class="ms-formvalidation" title="This is a required field." > *</span>');
});

If I simply have:

 $("nobr").append("*");

Then all nobr will be affected.

Answer 1

$('nobr').filter(function() {
  return $(this).text() == 'Due Date';
});
