You can' t satisfy everyone... :-) Prototype.js gets it's blazing selector speed (in Firefox) by using XPath in browsers that support document.evaluate. It's great that jQuery has a fast API for non-XPath browsers, but its speed in Firefox sux (comparatively). Are there plans to support XPath in capable browsers? Then you'll see jQuery as the fastest in all browsers, not just "the market leader". And maybe that will cause wimp browsers to either lose marketshare or get full featured. ;-) -- Rob
