CSS3 Pseudo-Class Selectors Emulation in Internet Explorer
Keith Clark, an independent web developer from the UK, has developed a JavaScript solution to IE’s CSS3 shortcomings in relation to CSS3 selectors. CSS3 selectors became the first W3C module to reach proposed recommendation status back in December 2009.
His ie-css3.js project (currently in beta) allows Internet Explorer, versions 5 through 8, to identify CSS3 pseudo-class [...]

Firefox 3.1 is the latest to pass our selectors test
I’ve just put a pre-Alpha build of Firefox 3.1 through its paces, and can confirm (following David Baron’s announcement) that it gets a score of 578/578 in our CSS3 Selectors Test, which means not only support for the new selectors, but some bugs fixed in existing ones.

Just how useful are CSS3 selectors?
Mozilla’s John Resig has removed support for certain CSS3 selectors from the jQuery Javascript library, and says the fact that no-one has asked for them to be reintroduced is evidence that they aren’t very useful:
Now, I’m sure I’ll probably get lots of feedback saying “but ‘E + F’ can be useful, look at this example” [...]
Making an image gallery with :target
One of the selectors new to CSS3 is the :target pseudo-class, which can be used to apply rules to an element with a fragment identifier; that is, an anchor name or an id. For example, let’s assume you have a section heading with an id of ‘chapter_2′:
