I haven't been able to get it to work with the sizzle branch (r1425) —
it fails on Selector.js L352
That version has e.g.
TAG: function(match, context){
return context.getElementsByTagName(match[1]);
}
Which assumes the descendant axis (which is obviously the intention
given the name 'findChildElements').
What I'd like to see from the API would be instead of
'findChildElements', the more general:
findRelatedElements(element, expressions)
If the axis part of the expression was left out it would be equivalent
to the current findChildElements e.g.
findRelatedElements(my_table, ['td.myclass']);
But you could also start an expression with an axis:
findRelatedElements(my_td, ['~ td.myclass']);
To find sibling nodes of a given td.
