Hi guys, hope you are all well and feeling festive,

My problem is like this, basically I want to be able to find an element(s) on a page using a css selector.

So it might be something like 'div .menu #firstEntry span' now how can I use that to find the target span?

I feel it is gonna be some DOM trickery here but I can't for the life of me work it out.

I would like to be able to write something like getElementsBySelector('div .menu #firstEntry span')

I think it can be done, I'm sure someone has done it or similar but I dunno where.

I would appreciate any help guys,

Thanks and enjoy the Christmas season,

Jon

smonkey: Simon Willison have implemented a getElementsBySelector function that exactly does what you want, and much more since it allows the regex on attribute's value.

Hope that helps,
