> Sequential selectors have the following syntax: a forward slash > ("/") precedes the first selector and immediately follows the second > selector. The sequential selector matches if (1) the element matched > by the second selector is the first such element to follow any > element matched by the first selector and (2) both elements have the > same parent.. That would make more sense, but then we definitely have a confusion as to which is more appropriate: /H1 P/ or /H1 //P// Would would appear to mean the same thing with your change to the selector semantics. I'm sure somebody would kill me if I suggested a more XSL like syntax for selectors at this point... :) I'm thinking maybe we should let the guys who wrote the standard mull over this selector issue and get back to us on either a clarified or a modified proposal. The current system will work, and we already have the algorithms to do work to process and assign styles based on selectors, but I'll admit there is possibly a bit of confusion and a bit of redundancy in the syntax. __ | Mortar: Advanced Web Development <http://mortar.bigpic.com/> | Neil St.Laurent <mailto:stlaurent@bigpic.com> | Big Picture Multimedia
