Hi guys
If I were to pass a P tag to $(), is there a way I could find its
location in the DOM and return an XPath expression?
For example:
xpath = $(this).getXPathLocation(); // equates to:
/html/body/div[2]/p[1]
Is this possible in the current source, or will I have to create a
recursive function to find an element's position and its parent?
