Hi Ian, > The most complete proposal I could find is at the end of: > http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2002May/0037.html > (Search for "updated".) I read this and it's certainly interesting. It seems to me that :has() is the most useful aspect, in that it doesn't introduce new syntax (#) and is very easy to read: form:has(textarea) It just seems to fit into the current style of CSS selectors very nicely. However I find :matches() very difficult to understand, and need to re-read such selectors several times to figure them out. I feel that if such complicated selectors are really necessary, it's almost worth bringing in XPath, which would fit more comfortably than trying to stretch CSS further. But perhaps people who don't know XPath would disagree. But do those same people need :matches? Hmm :) Anyway, I'm definitely interested in implementing :has, but will probably steer clear of :matches for now, until I run into an example where I actually need it.
