The selectorText DOM attribute of the CSSStyleRule interface http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Style-20001113/css.html#CSS-CSSStyleRule-selectorText is somewhat underdefined in my opinion. Or perhaps the definition is quite good, but it's not clear what you can expect. Besides, browser implementations seem to do different things. In text/html documents a selector like 'html body' might end up as 'HTML BODY' in Safari's implementation or 'html *' ends up as '*|html *|*' in Mozilla's implementation. Things like 'HTML > BODY' become 'HTML>BODY' (ok per the specification), but it's not entirely clear what the exact algorithm to follow is. It would be nice if the next revision, or perhaps some agreed upon algorithm between different vendors is created, so that interoperability becomes better and we don't have to reverse engineer each other ;-) -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
