If you are talking about links, then you should get the "href" attribute using the attr property

$('a').each(function(){
  if($(this).attr('href')=="some link"){
      $(this).text("success");
  }
});

I hope this helps.

Do this

$('a').each(function(){
  if($(this).text()=="some link"){
      $(this).text("success");
  }
});

This will look through all a tags one by one and check if they have the "some link". With your code you are looking through all a tags and the text might be "link1link2link3link4"
