### cssselect(self, expr, translator=`'``html``'`) | source code
Run the CSS expression on this element and its children, returning a list of the results. Equivalent to lxml.cssselect.CSSSelect(expr, translator='html')(self) -- note that pre-compiling the expression can provide a substantial speedup. Overrides: HtmlMixin.cssselect

### set(self, key, value=None) | source code
Sets an element attribute. If no value is provided, or if the value is None, creates a 'boolean' attribute without value, e.g. "<form novalidate></form>" for `form.set('novalidate')`. Overrides: HtmlMixin.set
