getChildren

How about an extra pseudo operator?

Ext.DomQuery.pseudos.nodeType = function(c, a){
	var r = [], ri = -1, n;
	for(var i = 0; n = c[i]; i++){
		if(n.nodeType == a){
			r[++ri] = n;
		}
	}
	return r;
};

Now you can simply use:

Ext.Element.prototype.getChildren = function(){
	return this.select('> *:nodeType(1)');
};

Just did a quick test and it works a treat
Another great approach
It also has the benefit of being flexible enough that you can pass in the nodeType you could be looking for.
I tested for textNodes and it pulled them out as well
It also seems a natural fit with the other pseudo selectors as there is a pseudo selector that checks the nodeValue.

Thanks Condor

Was looking for how to do this .. I tried tons of stuff

Ext.Element.prototype.getChildren = function(){
return this.select('> *:nodeType(1)');
};

.. thanks!

Just to show off its flexible benefits of Condor's approach

Ext.Element.prototype.getSiblings = function(){
          
        //Condor
        return this.select('~ *:nodeType(1)');
};

Ext.get('pane1').getSiblings()

I think you're the only person to use the ~ operator. A bug was fixed in it a while back and I don't think anyone noticed

by the way, where can I get some more reference or examples to learn about the ~ operator?

Read the DomQuery API docs.
