Add id to tag based on text it contains

I need to add an "id" to the h2 based on开发者_开发知识库 the text it contains. What I have is not working.

Starts like this

<h2>Revision 3</h2>

Scripts runs

$('h2:contains(" Revision 3 ")').replaceWith( "<h2 id="rev3">Revision 3</h2>"); 

Ends like this

<h2 id="rev3">Revision 3</h2>

---

$('h2').each(function ()
{
    if ($(this).text() == "Revision 3")
        $(this).attr('id','rev3');
}

Loops through all h2 tags, if the tag text is Revision 3 it set the id to rev3

---

Or if you just want to add ID to it you might use something faster like:

$('h2:contains("Revision 3")').attr('id','rev3');

---

You can't quote a string within a string using the string delimiters...so you can't use " inside a string delimited with ", but you could use ' inside a string delimited with "). For example:

$('h2:contains(" Revision 3 ")').replaceWith( "<h2 id='rev3'>Revision 3</h2>");

Should work. Also, the spaces at the beginning, and end, of the string should be removed, since they're not in the string you're looking for:

$('h2:contains("Revision 3")').replaceWith( "<h2 id='rev3'>Revision 3</h2>");

And, finally, would it not be easier to use something like:

$('h2:contains("Revision 3")').attr('id','rev3');

Given that an id must be unique within a document it's maybe also worth limiting the selector to only one element:

$('h2:contains("Revision 3")').eq(0).attr('id','rev3');

---

$('h2:contains("Revision 3")').attr("id", "rev3");

---

I think the extract spaces at the begin and end of Revision 3 are creating an issue.

Try this:

$('h2:contains("Revision 3")').replaceWith( "<h2 id="rev3">Revision 3</h2>");
