The problem: Mixing XPath and CSS selectors is very limited. And as more users of jQuery are familiar with CSS then XPath, there is much more support for CSS then XPath. To fully support XPath you have to remove a lot of CSS selectors. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de -- "Ein Herz für Kinder" - Ihre Spende hilft!
