How to use tag content to register jquery event

[Samishii23]

Ok that was a vague subject line. I'll explain:

I have a <button> html tag. I would like to be able to register an event to that button based on the content within the tags. like this:

<button>Add</button>

$(document).ready(function(){
  $("button('Add')").click(function(event){
   // do stuff
   });
  });

I don't know if that even works. I can't find a suitable answer from jquery.com's api reference or examples yet.

If not I'll just use the ID reference. I just want to know if I can even assign it like that.

Thanks.

The contains selector is probably what you're looking for.
