Find and Hide element (jQuery)

Question

<a href="#">Hide Me</a>

How do I find a link with text "hide" in it. I know how to find links by attributes but can't figure out how to find link by its text.

Answer 1

$('a:contains(Hide)')

Note that contains is case sensitive.

$('a:contains(Hide)').click(function() { $(this).hide() });

Answer 2

$('a:contains("Hide")');
