Subject: Re: find all possible container nodes of a given text

your code assumes that the text is contained in a leaf that is child of a td
node. What I'm looking for is the direct parent of any leaf containing the
string.
For instance, in your code, if I replace td by tr I get

[{elem <tr> {elem <td> {text "harr is a dog"} </td>} {elem <td> {text "fuu is a
cat"} </td>} {elem <td> {text "jii is adog"} </td>} </tr>}]

I don't want tr to be returned, since it is an ascendant, not a direct parent

sorry if I wasn't clear enough in my question
