[links] css selector meets javascript

Published on Fri 23 Nov 2007 10:11 ( 2 years, 3 months ago)

Some links. Many years ago I found behaviour.js and really like it, however in my project I finally decided to abandon it, the only reason is it became too slow when web page is big. It's not very efficient to use regex to get elements inside a big DOM tree...that's what behaviour.js does.

But this is a great idea, I really love it. so I decided to learn if it's possible to get this done and make it efficient enough in my spare time.

Some links:

GetElementBySelector(): http://simonwillison.net/2003/Mar/25/getElementsBySelector/

Javascript event sheet: http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/jses/

cssQuery, similar to get elementsbyselector: http://dean.edwards.name/weblog/2005/08/cssquery2/

Now prototype, jquery, dojo, mootools all support this features, here is a very nice performance compare:
