XPath 4 about dhclass-hub

2a. is pretty straight-forward (you should find 18 divs that contain "homework").
2b. involves identifying the parent of the element whose text-node has "homework". (you should retrieve 9 results). @amielnicki

I was having the same issues. I got the first expression, but I can't get the last expression. I tried: //div[contains(., "homework")]/.. but it is giving me 11 results instead of 9...

Your XPath is finding the parent of the div, not the parent of the element, that contains "homework".
The trick is to refer to the text-node containing "homework", first.

I figured it out! Thanks!

I am still completely lost on 2b. Are we using text() in this? How do we refer to specific text if we cannot place actual text within text()?

This is the closest that I got:
//div[contains(., "homework")]/parent::*[contains(., "homework")]

but I know that is referring to the parent of the element. If I take it out, I get more results:
//div[contains(., "homework")]/*[contains(., "homework")]

[ghbondar]

Getting closer, now how about using text() as part of the element tree with a predicate, such as:
text()[contains(., 'homework')]

That way you only have to search for the homework once.
