Selectors are <b>case insensitive</b> (including against * elements, attributes, and attribute values). * </p> * <p> * The universal selector (*) is implicit when no element selector is supplied (i.e. {@code *.header} and {@code .header} * is equivalent). * </p> * <table summary=""> * <tr><th align="left">Pattern</th><th align="left">Matches</th><th align="left">Example</th></tr> * <tr><td><code>*</code></td><td>any element</td><td><code>*</code></td></tr> * <tr><td><code>tag</code></td><td>elements with the given tag name</td><td><code>div</code></td></tr> * <tr><td><code>*|E</code></td><td>elements of type E in any namespace <i>ns</i></td><td><code>*|name</code> finds <code><fb:name></code> elements</td></tr> * <tr><td><code>ns|E</code></td><td>elements of type E in the namespace <i>ns</i></td><td><code>fb|name</code> finds <code><fb:name></code> elements</td></tr> * <tr><td><code>#id</code></td><td>elements with attribute ID of "id"</td><td><code>div#wrap</code>, <code>#logo</code></td></tr> * <tr><td><code>.class</code></td><td>elements with a class name of "class"</td><td><code>div.left</code>, <code>.result</code></td></tr> * <tr><td><code>[attr]</code></td><td>elements with an attribute named "attr" (with any value)</td><td><code>a[href]</code>, <code>[title]</code></td></tr> * <tr><td><code>[^attrPrefix]</code></td><td>elements with an attribute name starting with "attrPrefix".

For values of <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> greater than zero, this effectively divides the element's children into groups of a elements (the last group taking the remainder), and selecting the <em>b</em>th element of each group. For example, this allows the selectors to address every other row in a table, and could be used to alternate the color of paragraph text in a cycle of four. The <code>a</code> and <code>b</code> values must be integers (positive, negative, or zero). The index of the first child of an element is 1.</p> * In addition to this, <code>:nth-child()</code> can take <code>odd</code> and <code>even</code> as arguments instead. <code>odd</code> has the same signification as <code>2n+1</code>, and <code>even</code> has the same signification as <code>2n</code>.</td><td><code>tr:nth-child(2n+1)</code> finds every odd row of a table. <code>:nth-child(10n-1)</code> the 9th, 19th, 29th, etc, element. <code>li:nth-child(5)</code> the 5h li</td></tr> * <tr><td><code>:nth-last-child(<em>a</em>n+<em>b</em>)</code></td><td>elements that have <code><em>a</em>n+<em>b</em>-1</code> siblings <b>after</b> it in the document tree.
