I’ll answer this myself, because i found a solution which i had to modify. The following script is working and is based on a script of Blixt:
jQuery.fn.extend({
getPath: function () {
var path, node = this;
while (node.length) {
var realNode = node[0], name = realNode.name;
if (!name) break;
name = name.toLowerCase();
var parent = node.parent();
var sameTagSiblings = parent.children(name);
if (sameTagSiblings.length > 1) {
var allSiblings = parent.children();
var index = allSiblings.index(realNode) + 1;
if (index > 1) {
name += ':nth-child(' + index + ')';
}
}
path = name + (path ? '>' + path : '');
node = parent;
}
return path;
}
});
