Sure, just write a recursive function to walk the DOM and filter text
nodes:
function traverseDOM(node) {
if (node.nodeType == 3 && node.parentNode.nodeName!='SCRIPT') {
//do something to the text content here
}
if (node.childNodes != null) {
for (var i=0; i < node.childNodes.length; i++) {
traverseDOM(node.childNodes.item(i));
}
}
}
traverseDOM($('body')[0]);
