css selection bug: $("*").filter("body, body *") selects html and head

[pepijn]

this is my first bug report, so pleas be kind and explain if i did something wrong.

$("*").filter("body, body *").css({display: "block", border: "1px solid red"}); even makes the head visible in safari.

i was writing a plugin that would break if * is supplied as argument, so i want to filter out the head(and everything in it) and html tags.

$("*").not("html, head, head *").css({display: "block", border: "1px solid red"}); stopped it from making the header visible and giving it red borders, but title and 2 script tags seem to be included still. placing $("head").css("display", "block"); after it revealed that indeed the title and script tags had red borders.

however, if i just type the following in the head, nothing happens to it. <style> body, body * {

border:1px solid blue; display:block;

} </style>

filter() only supports simple selectors for now, that is, descendance selectors, etc cannot be used with filter() for now.
