Case Insensitive jQuery :contains Selector

by

This is useful because for some reason the :contains selector in jQuery is not case-insensitive. BTW the code below works with jQuery 1.3.


jQuery.expr[':'].contains = function(a,i,m){
  return jQuery(a).text().toUpperCase()
  .indexOf(m[3].toUpperCase())>=0;
};

OnClick Event with a Variable

And then I come across this post and it just makes so much sense; why didn’t I think of it myself.

Anyway, if you ever have the same question here is the link…
