jquery: find a string and wrap it in an tag?

Answer 1

Use :contains filter selector:

$('p.hidden:contains("click here")')

To wrap it in link:

$('p.hidden:contains("click here")').html()
.replace('click here', 'click here');

To wrap whole text in link:

$('p.hidden:contains("click here")')
.html('' + $('p.hidden:contains("click here")').text() + '');
