You could always use a filter function (untested):
$('div.commentfooter > span').filter(function() { return $(this).html() ==
'test'; }).append('class');
But you may find it easier to give the spans in question a class so you can
select them by class instead. SGML type markups seem to generally prefer
selection/manipulation by markup instead of by content.

I have some layers, each of this layers has a span tag with a

The code I tried is:
$("div.commentfooter[span:contains('test')]").append('class');
But that also appends 'class' to layers that have a span tag
containing 'testman' or 'tester'.
What do I need to change to only select those layers that have a span
tag that contains the word 'test' and only this word?
$("div.commentfooter[span:is('test')]").append('class');
doesn't work. :-(
