contains is a pseudo-selector, but not a method. So you can use it like
this:
html before:
<p>the quick brown</p>
<p>fox jumped over</p>
<p>the lazy dog</p>
script:
$("p:contains('the')").remove();
html after:
<p>fox jumped over</p>
That doesn't really help in the scenario you've posed because contains
searches the text of the element (see
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/contains#text ). What you want is the
attributeContains attribute selector. See:
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors
Under "Attribute Filters" there is
[attribute*=value]
Matches elements that have the specified attribute and it contains a certain
value.
http://docs.jquery.com/Selectors/attributeContains#attributevalue
So in your example that would be
if ( $("#myimg[src*='expand']").length )
// do something
else
// do something else
