Finding out what line number an element in the dom occurs on in Javascript?
Though I've never heard of this but, is it possible to retrieve a node from the DOM using JS, and then find out on what line of the file that node occurred on?
I'm open to anything, alternative browsers plugins/add-ons etc...it doesn't need to be cross-browser per say.
I would assume that this would be possible somehow considering that some JS debuggers are capable of finding the line number within a s开发者_如何学编程cript tag, but I'm not entirely sure.
Ok, forgive me for how large this is. I thought this was a very interesting question but while playing with it, I quickly realized that innerHTML and its ilk are quite unreliable wrt maintaining whitespace, comments, etc. With that in mind, I fell back to actually pulling down a full copy of the source so that I could be absolutely sure I got the full source. I then used jquery and a few (relatively small) regexes to find the location of each node. It seems to work well although I'm sure I've missed some edge cases. And, yeah, yeah, regexes and two problems, blah blah blah.
Edit: As an exercise in building jquery plugins, I've modified my code to function reasonably well as a standalone plugin with an example similar to the html found below (which I will leave here for posterity). I've tried to make the code slightly more robust (such as now handling tags inside quoted strings, such as onclick), but the biggest remaining bug is that it can't account for any modifications to the page, such as appending elements. I would need probably need to use an iframe instead of an ajax call to handle that case.

Something like this?
var wholeDocument = document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0]
var findNode = document.getElementById('whatever')
var documentUpToFindNode = wholeDocument.substr(0, wholeDocument.indexOf(findNode.outerHTML))
var nlsUpToFindNode = documentUpToFindNode.match(/\n/g).length
This can be done. Start by getting the highest node in the document like this:
var htmlNode = document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0];
var node = htmlNode;
while (node.previousSibling !== null) {
node = node.previousSibling;
}
var firstNode = node;
(this code was tested and retrieved both the doctype node as well as comments above the html node)
Then you loop through all nodes (both siblings and children). In IE, you'll only see the elements and comments (not text nodes), so it'll be best to use FF or chrome or something (you said it wouldn't have to be cross browser).
When you get to each text node, parse it to look for carriage returns.
You could try: -
- start at the 'whatever' node,
- traverse to each previous node back to the doc begining while concatenating the html of each node,
- then count the new lines in your collected HTML.
Post the code once you nut it out coz thats a good question :)
