I want to disable the button if specific text has been found in any label.
The following code doesn't run because aTags[i].innerText
is not equal to searchText all the time which is wrong because the label has inner text = "a" and the searchText variable have "a" as text - I need it to run in IE
<html>
<script language="javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var aTags = document.getElementsByTagName("label");
var searchText = "a";
var found;
for (var i = 0; i < aTags.length; i++) {
if (aTags[i].innerText == searchText) {
document.getElementById('choose').disabled=true;
break;
}
else
{
alert("failed")
}
}
});
</script>
<label> a </label> <br/>
<label> b </label> <br/>
<label> c </label> <br/>
<input type='button' value='choose' id='choose' />
</html>
Seems like there should be easier ways to do that with jQuery
$(function () {
var searchText = "a";
$('#choose').prop('disabled', function() {
return $('label').filter(function(_,el) {
return $.trim( $(el).text() ) === searchText;
}).length > 0;
});
});
