how to select button by particular text using jquery

Question

I am trying to change CSS of button using jquery, but i am not able to find the button using text property, my JQuery is:

 $.ajax({
        url : "{{url('booktable')}}",
        type : "GET",
        data : {},
        success : function(data){
          $.each(data, function(index, element){
            if(element.table_aval == 0)
            {
              var elmt = element.table_no;
              $('#table button[text='+elmt+']').css('color','red');
            }

          });
        }
      });

buttons are group of button created by foreach loops, thats why I am trying to find it using text attribute, how can i do that, buttons are:

                         <tbody>
                        @foreach($tables as $table)
                        <tr id=""> 
                            <!--input type="hidden" name="table_no" id="tno" value=""-->
                            <td style="text-align: center;">
                              <button class="btn" >{{$table->table_no}} </button>
                            </td>
                        </tr>
                        @endforeach
                      </tbody>

Maybe this code will help you: https://jsfiddle.net/auczzk5x/

You fill a text input with word: special or unspecial. And buttons below have text atributte with value of one of these words. For example, if you type special and click Clorize Buttons than buttons with text="special" will be in red color.

In your code above there is no HTML element with id="table", that you use in jQuery code: $('#table button[text='+elmt+']'), what suggests that buttons are in element with id="table".
