Hey guys,

Thanks for clearing that up.
Like I said I am rather new to the xpath (mainly because its not cross
browser at the moment) and css3 syntax.
I recognize the power it holds and it has peeked my curiosity.

Do you know of any resources for finding good usage examples?

P.S. Here is a regexp I use for extracting html elements from text in
php.
The regexp can be used in js too. Its very thorough and allows for
tags like <div title='next >' id="nav">test</div>

$selfClosing = preg_match('/(br|hr|img|input|link|meta|param)/i',
$tagName);

if($selfClosing){
  //very thorough regular expression
  $pattern = '%<'.$tagName.'(?:(?:(?:\s|\n)+\w+(?:(?:\s|\n)*=(?:\s|
\n)*(?:".*?"|\'.*?\'|[^\'">\s]+))?)+(?:\s|\n)*|(?:\s|\n)*)/>%i';
}
else{
  $pattern = '%<'.$tagName.'(?:(?:(?:\s|\n)+\w+(?:(?:\s|\n)*=(?:\s|
\n)*(?:".*?"|\'.*?\'|[^\'">\s]+))?)+(?:\s|\n)*|(?:\s|\n)*)>(?:(?:.|
\n)*?)</'.$tagName.'>%';
}

- Thanx
