根据值更改跨度标签的颜色

Question

I want to change the color of the message variable in the following HTML:

<span id="mess" style="visibility:visible;">
                <text id="tex">{{ message }}</text>
</span

I am using Jinja2 together with Flask - Python to pass a value to the {{ message }} variable. Here is how I tried to do it:

$(document).ready(function(){

            if (document.getElementById('tex').value == 'Message sent !')
            {
                document.getElementById('tex').setAttribute("style", "color:green;");
            }
            else
            {
                document.getElementById('tex').setAttribute("style", "color:red;");
            }
});

The result of the document.getElementById('tex').value is always undefined and the color of the text of the message variable is always red.

Is there a way with which I can accomplish that ? Thank you in advance.

Lets use contains selector.

 $(document).ready(function() { if ($('#tex:contains("Message sent !")').length) { $('#tex').css('color', 'green'); } else { $('#tex').css('color', 'red'); } });
