Sizzle selector builder

unsizzle

Sizzle selector builder.

Given a target-based event, unsizzle will do it's best to build a sizzle selector string back to the given target. The plugin walks the DOM from the target through every parent until it finds an ID or exhausts the list of parents.

How to use it

Using unsizzle to remember what was clicked

clickHistory = []

$('#element').on 'click' (evt) ->
    clickHistory.push unsizzle evt

showHistory = ->
    for selector in clickHistory
        $(selector).effect 'highlight'

Using unsizzle on nodes

x = document.getElementById 'element'
selector = unsizzle x
