Is there a css parser within js?

Question

like F("#a") will return me the element with id a.

F(".asd") will return me the elements belonging to class asd

F("p#g") will return me the p element with id g.

F("p") will return me all the p elements

etc etc

i mean i know we can probably hand-code all the rules ourselves but there got to be a better way around that right?

I think you are looking for a JS framework like jQuery - jquery.com — Rebecca Scott

If those are all the rules you need, then you can write it yourself — qwertymk

What you are asking is a CSS selector parser, not a CSS parser. — Tgr

You can use document.querySelector() and/or document.querySelectorAll(), but it doesn't have the best browser support, thanks to IE.

For better browser support, use SizzleJS, the selector engine in jQuery. It will use querySelectorAll() where supported.
