Hello,
I have an HTML page where when user clicks on a paragraph I want to
find out its path. I have written a jquery script for it:
jQuery.fn.extend({
getPath: function( path ) {
// The first time this function is called, path won't be
defined.
if ( typeof path == 'undefined' ) path = '';
if ( this.is('html') )
return '/html' + path;
// Add the element name.
var cur = this.get(0).nodeName.toLowerCase();
var index = this.prevAll().length;
// Recurse up the DOM.
return this.parent().getPath( '/' + cur + '[' + index + ']' +
path );
}
});
On an html page like this
<body>
<h1> Testing </h1>
<ul>
<li>
<p> Except when the winds rise to a high speed, we seem to
live in a very tranquil world.</p>
<p> In addition to this the earth revolves round the sun
at a speed of more than a thousand miles a minute.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p> Circling round the earth, in the same way as the earth
circles round the sun, is our moon. </p>
</li>
</ul>
</body>
Clicking on the second paragraph "Except when the winds..." generates /
html/body[1]/ul[1]/li[0]/p[1]. I am not getting why body and ul have
index 1. Please help. Sorry for the long mail.
