Search for a name in a div

The jquery search
$('div.ContentLeft').has('h1.header: contains('john bassey'));
if this query has an object, then you found 'john bassey'

Check:
http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/sel_contains.asp

the confirm box code will look like:
var r=confirm("Press a button and type your mesage here");
 if (r==true)
   {
   alert("You pressed OK!");
   }
 else
   {
   alert("You pressed Cancel!");
   }

$(".ContentLeft:contains(john bassey)").css("background","green");¿
or :
$(".ContentLeft:eq(0)").filter(function() { return $(this).text().indexOf("john bassey")>=0; }).css("background","green");¿

dynamically :

var s = "john bassey"
//$(".ContentLeft:contains(" + s + ")").css("background","green");¿
// or 
$(".ContentLeft:eq(0)").filter(function() { return $(this).text().indexOf(s)>=0; }).css("background","green");

Thanks everyone for all your response. Here is what i want

1. search for john bassey.
2. if name john bassey is found, display a confirm popup box which says ok and cancel
3. if user clicks ok redirect to main.aspx else clear the popup box.

Am new to jquery. Am I able to store item 1 in a variable and then test if john bassey was found?
can I do a redirect to another page within jquery?

Thanks leakin971. My question has not been fully answered if you read the question very well.

This is not even working

var r=confirm("Press a button and type your mesage here");
 if (r==true)
   {
   alert("You pressed OK!");
   }
 else
   {
   alert("You pressed Cancel!");
   }

Works like a charm. Thanks a million.

You're welcome!
