Question

I want to change the \"Yes! Pick me\" into \"Picked\" with Jquery in the following HTML structure, I used $(\'#myDiv>table>tr>td>table>tr\').eq(1).text(

Answer 1

You can use the :contains(text) selector

$('#myDiv td table td:contains(Yes! Pick me!)').text('Picked');

Be careful with nested tables however because if you were to use just

$('#myDiv td:contains(Yes! Pick me!)').text('Picked');

You would get both the cell your after plus the cell it is nested within.
