Sizzle selector syntax pattern of searchable items

I'm still learning how to use Sizzle selector. So far I know this:

Sizzle('#blah') - searches the entire document for element(s) with id 'blah'.

Sizzle('.blah') - searches the entire document 开发者_C百科for element(s) with css class 'blah'.

Then today I found this:

Sizzle('> div') - searches entire document for elements of 'div' tags. (I could be wrong but that's what it is doing for me)

Which makes me ponder, what other syntax are there to search for stuff using Sizzle??

The > is called child selector and is used to find direct/immediate children of parent elements.

Example:

<ul id="ul">
  <li>Child</li>
  <li>Child</li>
  <li>Child</li>
  <li>
      <ul>
         <li>Child Again</li>
         <li>Child Again</li>
         <li>Child Again</li>
      </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

Sizzle:

Sizzle('ul#ul > li')

In the above example, the child selector will only select direct children that is ones with text Child not Child Again

Here's the official reference on which selectors Sizzle supports: http://wiki.github.com/jeresig/sizzle/. But, as has already been said, it's basically the same syntax as CSS3 selectors.

And here's the link the OP was apparently asking for: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/

pretty much any selector you can do with css3 you can do with sizzle.
