Subject: find all possible container nodes of a given text

hi,
I've been using ruby for a few weeks and been messing with DOM-like programming
using hpricot.
I'm looking for an efficient (rubyiish) way to find the set of Node Elements
that have a text_element child containing a given string

for instance given the html code

<html><body><table><tr><td>harr is a dog</td><td>fuu is a cat</td><td>jii is a
dog</td></tr></table></body></html>

I would like to set this query

getNodesContaining("dog")

that would return an Array with the xpath of the first and third td (since they
contain the text dog)

thanks in advance

Sylvain
