I am trying to get "text that I want" from the site with this structure of code:

 <td class="x">
    <h3 class="x"> number </h3>
        <p>
            <a href="#"> text that I want</a>;
        </p>
</td>

If there will be one td with class "x" then I will do this: 

$('td.x > p > a').text()

and get text that I want, but the problem is that on this site there are a lot of "td" and "h3" elements with the same class "x". The only difference is that each time the text that is in "h3" element is a different number and I know what number is in "h3" element on the place where is my link. For example:

  <td class="x">
        <h3 class="x"> **125** </h3>
            <p>
                <a href="#"> text that I want</a>;
            </p>
    </td>

The question is - is it possible to choose selector based on the text that is inside - in my example I know that in code there is h3 element with text "125" or maybe is better way to get text from "a" element in my case.

Contains is the selector you're looking for

$('h3:contains("**125**")')

This will select h3 that has the text you wanted
