:contains() takes a string as a parameter, not an element (it
looks at the element's textual content). What you're looking for
is the ability to select the parent element, which was taken out
of the CSS3 Selectors module by the last working draft. (IIRC,
the argument was performance problems... I wonder, though--
wouldn't :contains() have the same problem?)
BTW, if you're selecting links, you don't need the A--just :link
will do.
