Answer 1

a fix to Gaby aka G. Petrioli

added "nd" to children

.children(nd)

full:

$(document).delegate('*','click',function(){
        var path = $(this).parents().andSelf();
        var xpath=''; // firebug xpath starts with '/html'
        for (var i = 0; i < path.length; i++) {
            var nd = path[i].nodeName.toLowerCase();
            if (nd =="tbody") continue;  // php DOMxpath ignores tbody? or browser fixes html?
            xpath += '/';
            if (nd != 'html' && nd != 'body')
            {xpath += nd+'['+ ($(path[i-1]).children(nd).index(path[i])+1) +']';} //! saving time ha?
            else
            {xpath += nd;}                    
        }
        alert(xpath);
        return false;
    });
