A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and web content management server device that receives a cascading style sheet (CSS) selector expression comprising a plurality of expression components. Whether an equivalent XML path language (XPath) expression can be generated for each of the expression components is determined. Each of the expression components for which an equivalent XPath expression cannot be generated is transformed into a transformed expression comprising at least one XPath expression and an extension function.
