I want to find out the list of all the DOM Elements that are located at the position where my mouse is clicked. I require to do this using javascript or jquery. Could someone suggest me on how I could do this?

Answer 1

I'd use jQuery to do this, starting at the clicked element and getting a list of all the clicked elements. Add a handler to the document on the mouse click:

$( document ).click( function( event ) {
    // event.currentTarget is the clicked element
    // this is a list of all the parents of the clicked element
    $( event.currentTarget ).parents();
}
