$('#divID1 ~ #divID2 button').length returns 2 elements as expected, but $("#divID1 ~ #divID2 button:contains('Second')").length returns 0 elements, which is not correct - it should return 1 button element with the 'Second' text.

Tested in Google Chrome 4.0, jQuery 1.4.1

Example:

<div>

<div id="divID1">Some text</div>

<div id="divID2">

<button type="button">First</button>

<button type="button">Second</button>

</div>

</div>
