David, as I said above single : notation for ::selection does *not* work in Webkit.

the single : notation has always worked in Opera. I’m almost sure that notation also works in other browsers for psuedo elements that should have the double :: notation too.

David, why the test you mentioned works in Opera? IMO the test is invalid. It uses “:selection” not “::selection”. (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#UIfragments) It shouldn’t work in Opera, as it doesn’t work in Webkit. The proper test case is available on a page: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/selection.html

Maybe the W3C is worried about the number 666? ;)

Is that temporarily or permanent? I see the CSS3 docs got a space for it, but it’s blank. http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-css3-selectors-20051215/#content-selectors

:contains doesn’t suppose to work. It has been removed from the spec, so is irrelevant. ::selection is the property that has been added in Opera 9.5 and the dynamic behaviour of the other selectors.

I’ve just installed the latest weekly build for Windows, Opera 9.50b build 9770, and the :content selector on the test page linked in the article isn’t working.
