Description
I am not able to succeed in xpath searches with axes. For example with simple searches as:
alert ($("//div/descendant::p").size());
I obtain the following error.
f has no properties (line 697) -> if ( f.constructor != String )
I am using the following version:

Ok, and ancestor:: ancestor-or-self:: axis is supported?
is better to use .ancestors()?

Correct, please use the additional methods for this, as opposed to the selectors.

That's correct - jQuery doesn't support the (explicit) descendant axis, instead, you can write the above using a combination of XPath and CSS Selectors:
$("//div p")
or more simply:
$("div p")
I don't really plan on including it, simply because it would add wait to the overall size of the file, without really adding any benefit.
