Question

I try to wrap a text in this code

<div class="div">
    <span></span>
    <a></a>
    *text I want to wrap*
    <span></span>
</div>

I know what the text is, but I can’t know what is his position in the div

$(".div:contains('*text*')")

I get the right div like that, but I can’t figure out how to wrap my text

Answer 1

most simple method will be take the html of parent Element and replace the string with new string

newHtml = $(".div").html().replace("*text I want to wrap*","<b>new html</b>");

Now place back the new Html to The parent div

 $(".div").html(newHtml);
