You can write your own selector by extending jQuery. Try this

$.extend($.expr[':'], {
  'containsi': function(elem, i, match, array)
  {
    return (elem.textContent || elem.innerText || '').toLowerCase()
    .indexOf((match[3] || "").toLowerCase()) >= 0;
  }
});

Useage $(".dDimension:containsi('" + dInput + "')").css("display","block");
