Why is the if statement below not giving me the expected results? Every time it just turns the paragraph yellow, even when the word doesn't match the :contains expression. Here's the query I'm using.
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($("p:contains(x)")) {
$("p").css("background-color", "yellow");
} else {
$("p").css("background-color", "red");
}
