About the QueryPath CSS Reference

This document is a reference for the CSS Level 3 Selectors support as implemented in QueryPath "quark" (2.0) and beyond.

For detailed API documentation, see http://api.querypath.org.

Selectors

Selectors are composed of simple selectors combined with combinators. Simple selectors may be composed of any combination of the following:

• Element ID (#elementID)
• Element name (tagname)
• Class (.classname)
• Attribute ([name="val"])
• Pseudo-class (:class(value))
• Pseudo-element (::element)
• Any element (*)

For a list of pseudo-classes, see csspseudo.

Combinators

Combinators join two simple selectors. The following combinators are supported by QueryPath (this list includes ALL combinators defined in the CSS 3 Selectors specification.):

• Any descendant (' ' - a blank space between two selectors)
• Direct descendant (>)
• Adjacent (+)
• Another (,)
• Sibling (~)
