Hide all 'a' elements with text or innerHTML that matches the number '0' or a custom value using javascript or jQuery

Question

I need to Hide all elements with text or innerHTML that matches the number \'foo\' or a custom value using javascript or jQuery.

Answer 1

$('a:contains(foo)').hide();

Done.

Or:

var customValue = "foo"
$('a').filter(function(){
    return this.innerHTML === customValue;
}).fadeOut();

With the later option you custom it a lot more, like:

var customValue = "foo"
$('a').filter(function(){
    return this.innerHTML === customValue &&
           $(this).closest('div').length;
}).fadeOut();
