Keep it up guys,

We’ve been monitoring the progress of Jack Slocum YUI-Ext library for quite sometime now. Honestly, in terms of features YUI-Ext exceed any other libraries out there. Unfortunately, the simplicity of the library for beginner/intermediate users still need to be improved. I would definitely use the combination of both jQuery and YUI-Ext for our application development in the future, unless if YUI-Ext can offer something like jQuery. I’m still thinking that that it’s better for YUI-Ext to be built on top of jQuery, instead of YUI, right?

Safari is always supported. I made quite a few changes in response to the jQuery post and one of the changes broke Safari. It has been fixed.

Okey, nice shot, but try at least to support Safari. DomQuery fails completely at my new MacBook.

Some of those selectors are not valid CSS or XPath. It is a bit harsh to say that other libraries return “invalid” results for these tests. None of the following selectors are valid:

#test-data span:first
#test-data span:last
#test-data span[title!=east]
#test-data/pre/code/span
#test-data/pre[class=highlighted]/code

Yep and John acknowledged your response and fixes accordingly in a comment on your blog and also by updating his posting. Great work on DomQuery, Jack.
