document.getElementsBySelector(selector)
- returns an array of element objects from the current document
matching the CSS selector. Selectors can contain element names,
class names and ids and can be nested. For example:

elements = document.getElementsBySelect('div#main p a.external')

Will return an array of all 'a' elements with 'external' in their
class attribute that are contained inside 'p' elements that are
contained inside the 'div' element which has id="main"

New in version 0.4: Support for CSS2 and CSS3 attribute selectors:
See http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#attribute-selectors

Hmm. IANAL either, but the OP did post it to a public forum. Does that not violate basic copyright rules? Besides, that was several days ago, and there has been no response other than yours, which didn't even address the issue.
