Let's say I have many of these in my content div : <cite class=fn>blabla</cite>

How can I check every cite tag's content (in this case: blabla) with class fn to see if it equals to sometext then change it's color to red ?

Very simple.

$('cite.fn:contains(blabla)').css('color', 'red');

Edit: though that will match blablablabla as well.

$('cite.fn').each(function () {

    if ($(this).text() == 'blabla') {

        $(this).css('color', 'red');

    }

});

That should be more accurate.

Edit: Actually, I think bazmegakapa's solution is more elegant:

$('cite.fn').filter(function () {

    return $(this).text() == 'blabla';

}).css('color', 'red');;
