html - How do I check to see if the text of a jQuery variable contains specific text? -

So I captured an image ID in a jquery variable such as:

  $ ("# Tag IMG"). Click (function (e) {var element = $ (this) .attr ("id");  

I then var element

if ($ (element * $ ('# Tag # view_name)'

') .text ("Tag with Square");} elseif ($ (element * =' circle ') {$ ( '# Tag #view_name'). Text ("Tag with a circle");}

thanks:

Edit: Oh, and the text I was looking for It's I. I have two strings in single quotes ('square' and 'circle').

Edit: All the answers given below are given below as they should be done ... but they are not This is The other is the code, so people can see if I am missing something:

  
   | | & lt; a href =" "& gt; & lt; ; Img src = "picture / circle page" id = "circle-tag">  | | & lt; span id = "view_name" & gt; tag with square & lt; / span & Lt; / div>  

Edit 3: OK ... It seems that some other jQuery was hijacking that div, all the answers are right I believe Is that I can correct them all :) $ ("" "" ") Is similar to

selector (example by your comment)

name = $ (this) .attr ("name"); if (name.indexOf ('square')> gt 0 = {$ ('# tag #view_name'). Text (" Tag with a square ");}
