How to get li from a href value containing string

I've got the following html

<ul id="navigationMenuTop" class="nav navbar-nav" data-bind="foreach: getRoutes">
  <li data-bind="css: ..." >
    <a data-bind="attr { href: ...">

This generates a nice top bar menu where users get to go to parts of the program where they have the rights for.

Now I need to get the li where the href in a contains 'registration'

I've tried several things, the latest being

$('.navigationMenuTop li a[href*="registration"]');

but no success yet, any ideas?

    alert($(this).text());
});

You can use the parent function to get the parent of the matched anchor

$('#navigationMenuTop a[href*="registration"]').parent();

I think you are mixing few things here.

This is not a knockout question, more of a jQuery + CSS questions.

navigationMenuTop is ID - so you shouldn't access it with a dot which means class.

Try # instead:

$('#navigationMenuTop li a[href*="registration"]');
