I like the idea in general. It would also make sense to have a complementary selector to select elements at a specific tree-level between the closest descendant and the distant (further) descendant elements, e.g.: .example:nested(2) would match elements that have the `example` class and are 2 levels deep from the base element: <div class="example"><!-- This does not match. --> <div class="example"><!-- This does match. --> ... </div> </div> As for naming, `closest` idiom is indeed already used for selecting parent/ancestor element in JavaScript. We could use the same function for all three cases: .example:nested(first) -- selects first (closest in your originally proposed terms) descendant having the class. .example:nested(last) -- selects last (further in your originally proposed terms) descendant having the class. .example:nested(2) -- selects second-level descendant having the class. It may also be more flexible to use entirely another approach: a functional notation that could allow to use more complex selectors to match desired elements, e.g.: ::nested(first, UL > LI.example.foo#bar) would match `LI` elements which are children of an `UL` element and have `example` and `foo` classes and the `bar` id.Received on Wednesday, 18 March 2015 18:10:45 UTC
