I have the following HTML, and I need to add a class to both <li>
and <a>
where the text 'Charts' exists (so not the second line, but rather the 4th and 5th). I cannot change the output of the HTML.
<div class="wp-submenu-wrap">
<div class="wp-submenu-head">Charts</div>
<ul>
<li class="wp-first-item">
<a class="wp-first-item" tabindex="1" href="admin.php?page=charts">Charts</a>
</li>
<li>
<a tabindex="1" href="admin.php?page=add-chart">Add Chart</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I've tried doing this by locating the <a>
tag that contains the text, but it is not working. Can somebody please point me in the correct direction? Thanks.
Code that I've tried -
$(document).ready(function(){
if(pagenow === 'admin_page_edit-chart') {
var page = $('.wp-submenu-wrap a:contains["Charts"]');
page.addClass('current');
page.parent('li').addClass('current');
}
});
