force object's path display

[bluephoenix]

I'm stumped; it's late and I've been at this for hours trying everything I can think of. Here's what I've got. I have the following function call assigned in my html document:

onMouseOver="showPath(this); return true;)

the function resembles:

function showPath(mousedItem) {
var whereAmI = mousedItem.???
document.title = whereAmI;
}

I need to know what to use in place of the ??? to have the path of the item displayedin the titlebar. For example, the desired output would be similar to window.document.object.name

Thanks for the help. It seems simple, but I just can't figure it out.

i don't think there's anyway to do that.

NO!?! QUICK!! SOMEBODY CALL THE W3!

... not that Microsoft or Netscape would listen to them anyways.

well I presume you want the DOM path rigth... well it should be something like this

function showPath(mousedItem)
{
var path='';
for(obj = mousedItem;obj.tagName != 'BODY';obj = obj.parentElement)
path = '->' + obj.tagName + path;
document.title = '->BODY' + path;
}

Hope it helps....
