In JavaScript, supposing I have a reference to an element, how do I retrieve an XPath expression that would select it?
Is there something like objElement.xpath
?

This is not XPATH related, but just to show you how you can get the parent/child relationship with a damn simple while loop.
var pathAt = function(node) { var stack = []; while(node.parentNode !== null) { stack.unshift(node.tagName); node = node.parentNode; } return stack.join('/'); } // Usage : pathAt(document.getElementBy('moo')); // Outputs : "HTML/BODY/CENTER/TABLE/TBODY/TR/TD/TABLE/TBODY/TR/TD/TABLE/TBODY/TR/TD/TABLE/TBODY/TR/TD"
Aaron Digulla : You also need to include the index for elements which can appear multiple times as a child (think DIV or P).From SleepyCod -
Since Annibigi doesn't want to post the solution, I'll do it: See this snippet.
