These changes should have been in r620, but somehow I did not save them, or
saved over them with an old copy in the editor. Not sure...
/* document.getElementsBySelector(selector)
- returns an array of element objects from the current document
matching the CSS selector. Selectors can contain element names,
class names and ids and can be nested. For example:
elements = document.getElementsBySelect('div#main p a.external')
Will return an array of all 'a' elements with 'external' in their
class attribute that are contained inside 'p' elements that are
contained inside the 'div' element which has id="main"
New in version 0.4: Support for CSS2 and CSS3 attribute selectors:
See http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#attribute-selectors
Version 0.4 - Simon Willison, March 25th 2003
-- Works in Phoenix 0.5, Mozilla 1.3, Opera 7, Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 5 on Windows
-- Opera 7 fails
