Question

Morning All,

Previously I have been using

$("#WebPartWPQ2 .ms-formtable tr:contains('lblName')> td").toggleClass('changedetails'); 

to customise a sharepoint list form, this has worked fine, (I have looked into alternative solutions to improve performance before but seem to achieve similar results)

Is there a selector for <nobr> in jquery

I have this working although I need it to match exactly rather than match if “contains”.

$("#WebPartWPQ2 .ms-formlabel nobr:contains('Change Owner')").toggleClass('changedetails');

Thanks in advance
Gary

You can combine it with .filter() to check an exact match, like this:

$("#WebPartWPQ2 .ms-formlabel nobr").filter(function() {
  return $.text([this]) === "Change Owner";
}).toggleClass('changedetails');

The $.text() call is calling jQuery.text directly (calling Sizzle really), rather than making a new jQuery object for each <nobr> we’re checking.
