I need to get a tr element which contains a td element which contains specific text  The td will contain that text and only that text  so I need text    foo  not text contains  foo  logic    So I need the equivalent of the following  pseudo jQuery    var tableRow     table td text    foo    parent  tr      Can anyone provide the correct syntax

You can use filter   to do that   var tableRow      td   filter function         return   this  text       foo      closest  tr

I know this is an old post but I thought I could share an alternative  not as robust  but simpler  approach to searching for a string in a table      tr contains needle       where needle is the text you are searching for   For example  if you are searching for the text  box   that would be      tr contains  box        This would return all the elements with this text  Additional criteria could be used to narrow it down if it returns multiple elements
