[jQuery] Re: Is it possible to do something like Firebug `inspect` function with JQuery?

[Rafael Santos]

I've done a function like this:

myId = function(me){ return me.id ? '#' + me.id : '' }
myTag = function(me){ return me.tagName ? me.tagName.toLowerCase() : '' }
myClass = function(me){ return me.className ? '.' + me.className.split('
').join('.') : '' }

breadcrumbs = function(me){
  var path = [myTag(me) + myId(me) + myClass(me)];
  $(me).parents().each(function() {
          path[path.length] = myTag(this) + myId(this) + myClass(this);
  });
  return path.join(' < ');
}

$('body').click( function(){
    console.log( breadcrumbs(this) );
});
