jquery - how to remove parent if child has specific text? -

i wanted remove parent div if child has specific text:

<div>   <span>test</span> </div> <div>   <span>text</span> </div> 

in above code want remove div contains test. tried lot filter function,but thinking wrong concept. best way remove this?

so, how detect text tested or not?

try using has() contains-selector - used contains since said contains - if want check exact match can't use it

$('div').has('span:contains(test)').remove()

for exact match

$('div span').filter(function(){     return $.trim($(this).text()) == 'test'; }).parent().remove()
