If the question is directed at me: I have no idea, I'm not involved with Prototype's development. I'd _assume_ that any release of Prototype would include the latest Sizzle unless there was a breaking API change in Sizzle making grabbing the latest difficult, which could cause a delay. The primary Sizzle API[1] consists of just three functions, but who knows, maybe Prototype had to go under the covers in order to provide some of Prototype's features. The Sizzle in jQuery 1.4.2, released 19 Feb 2010, doesn't have this `article` problem; the Sizzle in Prototype 1.7, released nine months later (16 Nov 2010), does (http://jsbin.com/osufay/4). On the face of it, given Sizzle is meant to be self-contained and Prototype supports pluggable selector engines, it should be trivial. And in about 15 minutes I was able to copy my local prototype-1.7.js file and swap in the Sizzle from the uncompressed jQuery 1.6.1[2]. The result worked in our `up` test case. But I tend to assume it can't be quite that easy and other things would be broken. I don't have the time to go any further with it, but if anyone wants to follow the recipe and run it through a test suite, here it is: Copy prototype-1.7.js and replace lines 3,966-4,937 (inclusive) with lines 3,700-5,106 (inclusive) from jQuery 1.6.1 uncompressed release[2]. For visual reference: prototype-1.7.js: Start and end lines starred: 3964 })(); 3965 Prototype._original_property = window.Sizzle; * 3966 /*! 3967 * Sizzle CSS Selector Engine - v1.0 3968 * Copyright 2009, The Dojo Foundation ... 4936 return Sizzle.filter( later, tmpSet ); * 4937 }; 4938 4939 4940 window.Sizzle = Sizzle; jquery-1.6.1.js: Start and end lines starred: 3696 }); 3697 3698 3699 * 3700 /*! 3700 * Sizzle CSS Selector Engine ... 5105 return Sizzle.filter( later, tmpSet ); * 5106 }; 5107 5108 // EXPOSE 5109 jQuery.find = Sizzle; But again: I have no idea if that's all that's required, just that the result worked in our `up` case finding `article`. It probably isn't that easy. Perhaps post a new thread asking about an update with just the latest Sizzle. Best, -- T.J.
