Use GwtQuery, is updated to GWT 2.4: http://code.google.com/p/gwtquery/

Selector examples :

//select an element having id equals to 'container'
GQuery myElement = $("#container");
//select all elements having 'article' as css class
GQuery allArticles = $(".article");
/select all cells of tables
GQuery allCells = $("table > tr > td");
//find the ul elements being inside a element with class 'article' itself inside a element with id 'container'
GQuery articleUls = $("#container .article ul");
