Selectors API Level 2 Draft Published

   28 June 2012 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9487

   The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
   Draft of "Selectors API Level 2." Selectors, which are widely
   used in CSS, are patterns that match against elements in a tree
   structure. The Selectors API specification defines methods for
   retrieving Element nodes from the DOM by matching against a
   group of selectors, and for testing if a given element matches
   a particular selector. It is often desirable to perform DOM
   operations on a specific set of elements in a document. These
   methods simplify the process of acquiring and testing specific
   elements, especially compared with the more verbose techniques
   defined and used in the past. Learn more about the Rich Web
   Client Activity.
