Rails spinoffs - May 2006 - attribute selectors: IE6 compatibility and enhancements

Hi All,

I''ve posted a patch a couple days ago to bring IE6 compatibility and 
enhancements to Brian Donovan''s attribute selectors.

It''s here: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5170

What it does:
* adds full IE6 compatibility to attribute selectors.
* adds ^=, $= and *= operators
* replaces != (not in spec) by :not(X) which is applicable to ALL 
operators, so you can do things like:
	$$(''form#foo input:not([type=text])'').each(function(input) {
   		Element.setStyle(input, {color: ''red''});
	});
  	
	$$(''#foo 
a:not([href^="#"]):not([class~="external"])'').each(function(element)
{
   		$(element).addClassName(''external'');
	});

* adds detailed test for the enhancements and IE bug corrections...

  Attribute selectors should now fully work in Firefox, Safari... and 
Internet Explorer 6.

Would very much appreciate any comments, remarks, suggestions, etc.

Regards,

Tobie
