Steve Souders' talk? He mentioned the same thing at Google I/O, and he was talking about how *CSS engines* in browsers - or at least the one in Firefox - process selectors.
He wasn't talking about how jQuery (or more specifically Sizzle) processes selectors. If you're curious to know why CSS engines work right-to-left - or which ones work this way - the CSS mailing list<http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d>would be a good place to ask. I'm curious about it too! John, does Sizzle work left-to-right or right-to-left? -Mike On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 1:38 PM, samer <samerzia...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I was reading over the slides at the conf, and I wanted to ask about > the right to left for selectors.
