vice-versa sub project: css2xpath

Update

I completely re-wrote the test suite. You can check a live example here where results are compared with Sizzle selector engine against the common W3C page.


After this Ajaxian post and some opinion exchange in its comments, I decided to extract the css2xpath function I used inside experiments in vice-versa project, creating a separated project specific for this purpose that some how could be interesting or useful.
Bugs, problems, questions, and helps are more than welcome, so far I focused my attention to SlickSpeed test selectors and nothing else but at least for that it seems to be stable and reliable.

Resurrecting The With Statement

You might think this must be a joke, well no , this is a partial lie behind the "use strict"; directive.

The Good News I have been blaming since ever the fact that use strict makes impossible to retrieve the real global object ensuring nobody in the closure redefined window or global by accident so that code is more reliable. Well, now we have the possibility to return it again when it's needed for security reasons or to be sure is the right one. // a classic code for Rhino, node, and Web var G = typeof window !== "undefined" ? window : global...

Hi everybody! I am definitively back in London: completely tanned, thanks to Ancona holidays, but right now under the rain (OK, in this second it's sunny here...) This is a quick " here I am again " but with a simple and little present: Easy CSS Reset Creator Sometimes we need to reset CSS to be sure that our document will be clear and hopefully equal for each browser, respecting our rules rather than browsers default. To better understand what I am talking about, please have a look into this Eric A. and Kathryn S. Meyer page , the basis used to create my simple tool. What Eric did not think about, is that thanks to Web 2.0 injections and flexibilities, it could be useful to reset a single node and everything contained rather than a full document, specially when we need quick improvements or our cool widget/gadget to add somewhere in the page without an iframe or inherited rules. So, this is the page able to create the CSS you need with or without a parent rule. If you...
