Jquery / Javascript - Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function

Google doesn`t execute my JS code. In Firefox everything works fine

$('a[href="#pricends"]').click(function(){
    $("div.text_1").text(($("div.text_1").text() == 'smth1') ? 'smth2' : 'smth1')
    $("div.text_2").text(($("div.text_2").text() == 'smth2') ? 'smth1' : 'smth2')

if ( $('div.text_1').text().contains("smth1") ) {
//smth here
}

Chrome console output points to "if" line above.

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function (anonymous function) f.event.dispatch jquery-1.7.2.min.js:3 h.handle.i

How to fix this? Nothing goes at mind now, name function and compare it with bool before if ?

Also another way to do it with a single class

DEMO

<a href="#pricends">CLICK</a>

<div class="smth">smth1</div>
<div class="smth">smth2</div>

jQ:

var $smth = $(".smth"); // Cache your elements

$('a[href="#pricends"]').click(function( e ){

  e.preventDefault(); // Prevent Browser default anchor behavior

  $smth.text(function(i, txt){
    return txt=='smth1'?'smth2':'smth1';
  });

});

Somewhat extended:

var $smth = $(".smth"); // Cache your elements

$('a[href="#pricends"]').click(function( e ){  
  e.preventDefault();
  $smth.text(function(i, txt){
    if(txt==="smth1"){
      // do something with $(this)
      // or do something else
    }
    // and afterwards thange text
    return txt=='smth1'?'smth2':'smth1';
  });
});

Why don't you just use the same check you used when choosing which text to append:

if ( $('div.text_1').text() === "smth1" ) {
  // do it
}

You can't call .contains() on the text value returned from .text().

If you test the value after extracting it with jQuery you should be ok.

var divText = $('div.text_1').text();
if(divText.indexOf("smth1") != -1){
  //do your stuff...
}

Use something like this:

if ( $('div.text_1').text().indexOf("smth1") !== -1 ) {
  //smth here
}

The indexOf will return something other than -1 if "smth1" exists somewhere in your text.
