contains will work with or without quote around 'mytext'. How do I
know it works? because $("#tableid tbody tr td.someclass:contains
(mytext)").dosomething(); is working just fine for selecting td (as
well as with 'mytext' quoted) but as soon as the tr:has
(td.comeclass:contains(mytext)) is added (regardless of 'mytext'
quoted or not, i tried both) the tr is not selected (which is what I
want, i dont want to select td)
I thought about just selecting the td and then .parent() it but I try
not to use any destructive operation if I could. Is my selector
construct simply not supported by jquery or is it a bug in 1.3.1? I
haven't tried it with the 1.2.6.
