Get text exactly from td using jquery

I'm able to get the row by using td text using "contains", but it fails if it has the text in td > span text.. Here is my scenario

<table id="tblAllMessages">
<tr><td>100</td><td><span>hi</span></td></tr>
<tr><td>200</td><td><span>100</span></td></tr>
</table>

if I use 

$('#tblAllMessages td:contains('100')').parent("tr")

it will give me two rows.. But, I need only first row. It should not check 100 in second row, because its under span of a td..

Do I need to add anything else?

Try using :first like below :

$('#tblAllMessages tr td:nth-child(6):contains("100"):not(:has(span)):first').closest('tr')

Working JSfiddle

For More information on :first please see :First API Doc

Try this :

(prettified version)

$('#tblAllMessages td') .filter(function () { return $("<div/>").text($(this).html()).html()=='100' }) .closest("tr").css('background-color','red')

The trick I used is not to find any html entities inside it. ( but PURE text)
