Get selected element's outer HTML

Question

I\'m trying to get the HTML of a selected object with jQuery. I am aware of the .html() function; the issue is that I need the HTML including the selected obje

Answer 1

$("#myNode").parent(x).html(); 

Where 'x' is the node number, beginning with 0 as the first one, should get the right node you want, if you're trying to get a specific one. If you have child nodes, you should really be putting an ID on the one you want, though, to just zero in on that one. Using that methodology and no 'x' worked fine for me.
