I'm trying to find the following node within a page:

<span class=dotted>Admin</span>

I've tried the following jQuery selectors, but neither seem to work in selecting the node:

$(.dotted span:contains('Admin')).css(color,red);

$(span:contains('Admin') .dotted).css(color,red);

What am I doing wrong?

This selector should do what you want.

$(span.dotted:contains('Admin'))

Remember you can chain Tag names with IDs and classes. Example

$(span#yourID)

OR

$(span.yourclass)

OR a mixture of the two

$(span#yourID.yourClass)
