There is a simpler implementation of all_text:
class Hpricot::Elem
def all_text
text = ‘’
traverse_text {|t| text << t.content }
text
end
end

Thanks Aaron and Greg, works a treat!
If three of you have independantly used this, let’s check it in.
Elements#text
which parallels Elements#html (I think jQuery also has this) and
Elem#inner_text
as well.

Actually, I haven’t used it. I just knew how to go about it. What I
would
find much more useful is an #inject_text (and a corresponding #inject_elements, though that isn’t as important since the / notation
retrieves an Enumerable).
