<p>This is a simple key/value store, so if you want to store complex data use <code>JSON.parse(str)</code> and <code>JSON.stringify(obj)</code> on your way in and out. There is also no way to know if you exceeded the storage cross-browser, so wrap your store commands in try/catch. Up to 5MB is safe to use.</p>

                <p>Most CSS Selectors are supported from IE7 onwards, so you should be safe to use. But do note that, on browsers that do not support these selectors, a whole rule will be detected as invalid if these unsupported selectors are present. For example, in IE6 <code>#main, p:first-child {}</code> would be invalid because it is unable to understand <code>p:first-child</code>. We strongly recommend you do not try to polyfill this, but if you do need one, you can use <a href="http://selectivizr.com/">Selectivizr</a>.</p>

<h4>When you sunset IE6 support, you can use:</h4>

<ul>
<li><code>tr &gt; td</code> : Immediate descendant (child) selector.</li>
<li><code>dt + dd</code> : next sibling selector</li>
<li><code>dt ~ dd</code> : any following sibling</li>
<li><code>div[attr]</code> and <code>img[src$=png]</code> : Attribute selector (starts with, ends with, contains).</li>
<li><code>p:first-child</code> </li>
<li><code>div:hover</code> and <code>:hover</code> state on all non-<code>&lt;a&gt;</code>'s</li>
<li><code>li.food.vegetable</code> : without worrying about the <a href="http://paulirish.com/2008/the-two-css-selector-bugs-in-ie6/">chained classes bug</a></li>
</ul>

<h4>When you sunset IE7 support, you can use:</h4>

<ul>
<li><code>:before, :after</code> and generated content</li>
<li><code>:focus</code> for elements with current focus</li>
</ul>

<h4>When you sunset IE8 support, you can use:</h4>

<ul>
<li>These very useful selectors: <a href="http://css-tricks.com/how-nth-child-works/"><code>:nth-child(n)</code></a>, <code>:last-child</code>, <code>:target</code>, <code>:not(s)</code>, <code>:enabled</code>, <code>:disabled</code>, <code>:checked</code>, <code>::selection</code></li>
<li>These ones, too: <code>:root</code>, <code>:nth-last-child(n)</code>, <code>:nth-of-type(n)</code>, <code>:nth-last-of-type(n)</code>, <code>:first-of-type</code>, <code>:last-of-type</code>, <code>:only-child</code>, <code>:only-of-type</code>, <code>:empty</code></li>
</ul>
