   var xmlString="<body>text<table class='citizens largepadded'><tr><td>bla</td></tr><tr><td>needTHIStext</td></tr></table></body>";
    var doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(xmlString,'text/xml');
    var result = doc.evaluate("//table[@class='citizens largepadded']/tr[2]/td[1]", doc, null, XPathResult.STRING_TYPE, null);
    alert(result.stringValue);

    it is the FIRST TD and not the second one.

    var xmlString="<body>text<table class='citizens largepadded'><tr><td>bla</td></tr><tr><td>needTHIStext</td></tr></table></body>";
    var doc = new DOMParser().parseFromString(xmlString,'text/xml');
    var result = doc.evaluate("//table[@class='citizens largepadded']/tr[2]/td[1]", doc, null, XPathResult.STRING_TYPE, null);
    alert(result.stringValue);
