[jQuery] Xpath Plugin: Child Selector Predicate Support [\d+]
Hey Jquery hackers:
I'm doing some work with the Xpath plugin and I notice it doesn't
support expressions like:
/html/body/center/form/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/input[3]
(Used to select the search box on www.google.com!)
I would like to extend the plugin to support this kind of expression.
Because (to my knowledge) CSS selectors don't specify a way of
selecting specific child elements I believe that the best way to run
the selector recursively:
Given the selector:
/html/body/center/form/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/input[3]
Run 1st:
/html/body/center/form/table/tbody/tr/td
Get the 2nd result.
Run 2nd:
td/input
Run td/input on the final result of the 1st run. Return the 3rd
result.
Does anyone else have any experience tackling this kind of problem?
(or know about a CSS selector rule that does this : P)
Thanks,
John
