Access class with specific text content and display:none

I have a large Joomla CMS Website I'm working on.
Problem: I need to hide a menu tab globally across the entire site. The menu item I need to have does not have a unique ID or class; but instead shares the same class as the other tabs I need to keep on the page. 70% of the tab I need to remove shows in 4th order so I started with the below.
.tabs:nth-of-type(4)
{
display:none !important;
}
But! Seeing as how the rest is in different order, this wont work. The tab in question I need to remove looks like the below across the mark-up.
Update: This is what I currently have via the suggestions below but it isn't working:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.djaccTitle:contains("Location").css( "display: none;" )')
});
<span class="tabs">Location</span>
Is there a way to write an if statement or similar lightweight solution that can sniff out text content within the class, so if it says Location, then hide?
I would like to find a solution like this, as opposed to going through 1000 files of mark-up removing manually. Cheers for any pointers
Update: This is what I have via the current suggestions below but it isn't working!
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.tabs:contains("Location").css( "display: none;" )')
});

I do not believe what you are asking for exists with pure CSS at this time.
What I would do is use jQuery's :contains() selector:
$('span.tabs:contains("Location")')
or even better:
$('#idOfTabsContainer span.tabs:contains("Location")')
And of course, don't forget to put this in a document.ready to ensure that your DOM element has been loaded successfully:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#idOfTabsContainer span.tabs:contains("Location")')
});

Jquery :contains() Selector should work. I think you have an error in .css() function syntax.
Please try with:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$( '.tabs:contains("Location")' ).css( 'display', 'none' );
});
Hope this helps

There used to be a :contains selector that they were going to add to CSS.
But alas, you may have to resort to some JS, as addressed already here
jQuery's got your back though:
$('.tabs:contains("Location")')

Problem: I need to hide a menu tab globally across the entire site.
Solution 1: Disable the menu item. Boom, it is gone from your menus, site wide.
Solution 2: Hide the menu item with css by adding a unique class to the menu item itself and then hiding it with css.
.hide-me-with-css {display: none;}

Replacing div nodes when clicking a button in JavaScript

I have 5 windowDiv on my page that have a button with id "#button". The button's purpose is to change the size of the windowDiv. The windowDiv has a large version (called windowDiv) and a small version (windowDivSmall).
The top container div of the page is called topContainerDiv.
The problem is that I can't get this to work for just one windowDiv, let alone all 5 of them. I know I need to use topContainer.replaceChild(windowDiv, windowDivSmall); but I just can't get it to work.
What I currently have is the following:
$("#button").click(function() {
$(topContainerDiv).replaceChild(this.windowDivSmall, this.windowDiv);
// The code above is broken and doesn't work. Help!
});

I suspect you to use 5 #button.
You cannot.
change in HTML id="button" for class="button" and update your jquery :
$(".button").click(function() {
// correct jquery functions to call here :)
});

replaceChild is a JavaScript function. You are calling this function on a jQuery object. You could try the jQuery replaceWith method`: http://api.jquery.com/replaceWith/

Clicking a div changes another div's content

I'd like the content inside <div class="tcw-content"> to change, when another div is clicked, however I have never used Ajax (maybe it doesn't have to be done in Ajax, but I can't think of a JS/CSS way, examples appreciated :) ), would anyone have any examples for me please? For example, the user will click onto <li id="tab-tab_700964" class="grp"><a>Group A</a></li> and as soon as the hotspot is clicked, the content inside the above mentioned div will change.
How can I achieve this?

You can use jQuery, example:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#tab-tab_700964 a').on('click', function(){
$('.tcw-content').html('hey');
});
});
</script>
<li id="tab-tab_700964" class="grp"><a>Group A</a></li>
<div class="tcw-content">
hello
</div>

Go take a look at jQuery. It makes this pretty easy. Your example would look like this:
$('.grp a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('.tcw-content').html('new content goes here');
});
To explain, $ is the jQuery object. When you use it as a function with a string, it finds all elements matching that selector, almost exactly the same way CSS selectors work. Then, there are a variety of functions you can call on these matched elements. In this case, we call click() and pass it a function that will be run when the link is clicked on. Inside of that function, we find the div using $('.tcw-content') and update its contents by using the html() function.
jQuery's documentation is quite good. Start playing with it, maybe using jsFiddle as a sandbox.

Maybe you are looking for a content slider.

do it with jquery. Include the jquery library, and then add a new javascript file with a document.ready event. Inside the document ready, just add something to listen for when your div is clicked. Read here:

JQuery .attr won't retrieve or change values

I'm trying to change HTML attributes using jQuery, but no matter what I do, I can't get anything to work with jQuery's .attr().
For testing, I've written
alert($("#logo").attr("title"));
and even though I have an img with id="logo" and a title, the alert remains blank.
My full method:
function switchVideo(videoID) {
var videoPlayer = document.getElementById("example_video_1");
videoPlayer.src = "video/Occam.webm";
videoPlayer.load();
$("#example_video_1").attr("poster", "video/ss.png");
//Doesn't work:
alert($("#logo").attr("title"));
$("#logo").fadeOut();
videoPlayer.play();
}
My fade out works, so I know I imported jQuery correctly.
I've gotten it working in another document, so there must be something else in the document messing it up. Does anyone know why this simple method won't work?
You can see the source page at http://jrstrauss.net/temp/create.html

Your div has the id logo, not the img.
Try:
$("#logo img").attr("title")

You should be using $.fn.prop for that now: http://api.jquery.com/prop/

You should use prop if you are using a recent version of jQuery.

You can also try this according to your HTML:
alert( $("#logo a img").attr("title") );
Demo

You have the following markup with id logo
<div id="logo">
......
</div>
Now, you are trying to run jQuery's .attr method by following code.
$("#logo").attr("title");
as you may know .attr method retrieves attribute value of the given element but that <div> doesn't have a attribute named title. so to confirm this, try retrieving attribute that does exist, for example id. so try this
alert($("#logo").attr("id"));
This will return the value of attribute. the important thing to note is jQuery looks for attributes of given element only, It doesn't scan child elements.
So, to make it work in your case. You need to do the following
alert($("#logo img").attr("title"));
Hope it helps

scrollTo: Getting button images to scrollTo divs

I've not found an answer really specific to my case, which I would imagine is common. I'm looking to add the scrollTo effect to my webpage using jquery (or javascript). I still don't know what is the easiest way granted I've not gotten anything to work. :(
I have a single vertical page. Navigation is on the bottom of each div wrapper. I'd like my button areas to scroll to the divs. As of now, I've styled the buttons to link to the Divs. That's perfect, except, I need to add the animation.
You can have a look at my test page here: my site
I've tried scrollTo, but each of my buttons links to a specific div. Not sure how to modify the plugin to work for me.
I think the next best solution is inserting javascript that animates all links in a window? Definitely don't know where to find that code or how to modify it for my case.
Thanks in advance everyone, and I look forward to a solution from what seems to be a very vibrant community.

Try something like this...
working example: http://jsfiddle.net/BTncy/
$(document).ready(function(){
$('a').click(function(){
var ele_href= $(this).attr('href');
$('html,body').animate({scrollTop: $('#' + ele_href).offset().top},'slow');
return false;
});
});

(Note, from your example you have the javascript in the title attribute, not an onclick, not sure if that's intended)
This doesn't use a plugin, but you could do something as simple as the following using jQuery:
function scrollTo (element) {
var target = $(element).offset();
$('body').animate({scrollTop: target.top}, 'slow');
}
This allows you to just specify the selector to what you want to scroll to, so it could be as simple as:
<div id="more">
<a onclick="scrollTo('#intro_2_container'); return false;" href="#into_2_container">
<img src="images/more.png" border="0" />
</a>
</div>
In my quick testing that seemed to work. (After I fixed the typo of the target element in the scrollTo call)
