Select an element by inner html

[TheFilmGod]

Using jquery, how can I select an element whose inner html is == 'login'

 

$('#toolbar .header ul li a').text('login')

 

Thanks!

in Jquery, the .html() method gives you the inner text.

Example:

<div id="hello">World!</div>

<script type="text/javscript">

var div_content = $("#hello").html();

window.alert(div_content); /*displays: World!*/

</script>

Thanks for the effort, but I'm not interested in obtaining the inner html.

 

Instead, I'm interested in SELECTING an element according to the inner html value.
