I dont think there is any easy way to do that. A single DOM element could have 10 different selectors that match it (or others with it). Such a function could return just "#myId", or maybe "div.foobar a".
Why would you need to do this in the first place? Once you've selected an element you generally should _avoid_ selecting it again with a selector string (why bother the extra overhead of re-selecting since you already have the element selected?). You can just pass the object as a parameter to whatever functions you might need. What are you trying to accomplish? -- Suni
