For example if this code is executed on an element with 4 divs but only one div withing another div it should return 1 and not 4. document.getElementById('test').querySelectorAll('div div'); HTML: <div id="test"> <div>1</div> <div> <div>2</div> </div> <div>3</div> </div> 71324 1 19242 spam 2008-02-20 15:40:28 -0800 Created attachment 19242 Testcase to illustrate the bug. This test case will alert 4 but should alert 1 since only one div is inside another div. 71325 2 annevk 2008-02-20 15:53:18 -0800 I'd mark this INVALID, but can't. Anyway, selectors are always matched agains the document element. However, for calls on element nodes all nodes not part of the sub tree of that element node are filtered out. This is why you end up with 4 and not 1 or 5. 71326 3 annevk 2008-02-20 15:56:13 -0800 I shouild have mentioned that we will clarify the specification in due course to make this more explicit. 71327 4 aroben 2008-02-20 15:56:49 -0800 Marking INVALID per Anne's comments. 71328 5 spam 2008-02-20 16:00:42 -0800 Hmm, strange since this is not the way common libraries like jQuery/Prototype etc work. They all return 1 if you scope the search to an specific element so this can't be used as an replacement for those APIs. I could not find anything about this in the W3C specification so I'm wondering what is the correct behavior? 73120 6 sam 2008-03-09 08:14:31 -0700 *** Bug 17731 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 19242 2008-02-20 15:40:28 -0800 2008-02-20 15:40:28 -0800 Testcase to illustrate the bug. test.HTML text/html 208 spam PGh0bWw+DQo8Ym9keSBvbmxvYWQ9ImFsZXJ0KGRvY3VtZW50LmdldEVsZW1lbnRCeUlkKCd0ZXN0 JykucXVlcnlTZWxlY3RvckFsbCgnZGl2IGRpdicpLmxlbmd0aCk7Ij4NCg0KPGRpdiBpZD0idGVz dCI+DQoJPGRpdj4xPC9kaXY+DQoJPGRpdj4NCgkJPGRpdj4yPC9kaXY+DQoJPC9kaXY+DQoJPGRp dj4zPC9kaXY+DQo8L2Rpdj4NCg0KPC9ib2R5Pg0KPC9odG1sPg==
