Question

Is there a selector that matches an exact text match? For example if I have a <select> with Matt Black and Black, and I try to do '#field option:contains("Black")' I’ll get Matt Black although I want to select Black.

:eq looks for Index n – is there a better way to select an <option> node based on it’s textual content?

Try:

$('someElement').filter(function() {
    return $(this).text() == 'Some text';
});
