http://beta00.logient.com/cat/dom-analysis.rar You are not supposed to have any js error in ff2 or ie6. Its really just experimental. Still I have some nice demos. Start with domAnalysisDemo.html The basic idea was to do the heavy lifting with the static analysis then to do the fancy stuff with jquery. At first the static analysis started with some sort of directory of css classes to efficiently find dom elements. Then it become some sort of fancy css classes indexing solution. As you will see, classes starting with an underscore have a special meaning. They can be ignored or not... Enjoy. >Using JS for straightforward styling feels... awkward. Or with something like http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/compatibility/ (which is slower then jquery to my experience) I am just talking about 'js powered css like style rules' The point is that advanced styling (html decoration as I like to call it) with power, expressivity, portability and cost-efficiency with todays css... I think we can do beter. As I said maybe IE7 will be enough soon enough... but I was still develloping for ie5.5 not long ago so... And maybe I am just too dramatic about not being able to use the > selector in ie6. And Maybe I should just do some flash or flex !
