try this:

Updated It should now work:



var path = "/" + element.parents().map(function () {
    return this.tagName;
}).get().reverse().join("/");

path += "/" + element.prop("tagName") + "[" + (element.prevAll().length + 1) + "]";

No, there is no built-in method for this using jQuery. There are however other javascript options, see here: How to calculate the XPath position of an element using Javascript?
