something like this (untested) returns an array of all the plain text
nodes in a jQuery object.
jQuery.fn.plainText = function() {
var text=[];
this.each(function(){
var children =this.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++){
var child = children[i];
if (child.nodeType == 3)
text[text.length] = $.trim(child.nodeValue);
}

return text;
