What follows is a list of CSS selectors currently supported in latest NWSAPI version.

The list has been built upon current W3C Selectors Level 4 though it is still a work in progress.

Text and/or character selectors (content) have no meanings for applications, they don’t work on element nodes but on text nodes, which do not provide an event interface needed for selections.

any Element

E	an Element of type E
E#fooId	an E element with ID equal to “fooId”
