This creates a divergence between what a CSS selector means and what a jQuery selector means. Think about this code:
<iframe src="http://google.com";> <p>This browser doesn't support iframes, or has them disabled.</p> </iframe> This css selector will make the error message bold: iframe p { font-weight: bold } With the proposed change, this selector would bold all the p tags in the google.com page: $("iframe p").css("font-weight", "bold"); That's too much magic for me. The iframe contents aren't part of the current document, they're in a document unto themselves. As for how to make selector syntax more symmetrical with the method syntax, how about a :contents pseudo? $("iframe:contents p").addClass("error") === $("iframe").contents ().find("p").addClass("error") -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
