Firebug is able to display the xpath for any DOM element in the HTML view. I was wondering if there's a way to convert the xpath to a jQuery selector? (I prefer not to do this manually)
This will greatly save me time to find the correct selector for elements which don't have an id & are way deep in the DOM hierarchy. For example the fifth TD in the 20th TR
AFAIK, xpath support in jQuery is dropped so I can't use the xpath straight in jQuery?

The jQuery library supports a basic set of XPath selectors that we can use alongside CSS selectors, if we so desire. And with jQuery, both XPath and CSS selectors can be used regardless of the document type.
ID and Element selector are the fastest selectors in jQuery.
The jQuery #id selector uses the id attribute of an HTML tag to find the specific element. An id should be unique within a page, so you should use the #id selector when you want to find a single, unique element.
There's a 'copy css path' in Firebug when right-clicking an element. It can be used to create a selector.
