title: Select numbers on a page with jQuery or Javascript
body: <p>I'm just wondering if there's a way to locate numbers on a page with jQuery or plain Javascript.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I want to do:</p>
  
  <p>Say "June 23" is on the page. What I want to do is be able to prepend and append some <code>&lt;span&gt;</code> selectors to the number. </p>
  
  <p>Using <code>:contains()</code> with jQuery selects the whole thing, not just the number.</p>
  
  <p>These strings are being generated without any wrapping elements by a Wordpress theme I'm working on, and I <strong>only want to select the number</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated! Thanks for even thinking about it.
