Writing HTML is itself a challenge for developers and writing correct CSS selectors for this HTML is more difficult , sometimes bit confusing too. As myself being a web developer , can understand the pain and thus came out with this plugin.
This jquery plugin helps you to generate the css selectors on a single click. Give it a try , simply paste some HTML below and click Generate.

Love it !!
Pretty neat and could be really useful – thanks a lot! Prevents spelling mistakes too.
Might be a bit overkill at the same time. Small bug: It generates CSS classes for the tags too
.
Whoops – looks like my comment got edited.
“for the tags” should be “for the SCRIPT tags”
It was interesting to read this article and I hope to read a new article about this subject in your site in the near time.
Thanks, dude. It’s really helpful to choose selector.

Wow that was like a special treasure trove of Oatmeal work! IMMD.
Kind of nice, but there are some optimizations that can be had here.
For instance, I provided some html that gave me the selector:
div#wark ul#listo li.odd dd { }
Because jQuery (and browsers) parse css selectors right-to-left, the abundance of fine detail will actually hurt performance. The fewer the items to parse, the faster the selection will be.
One obvious optimization involves ids. Since they must be unique, having the tagname is unnecessary.
Without knowing the context of the html, one can see that a more optimized selector can be:
#listo li.odd dd { }
But with deeper digging, a profiler may notice that the dd tag is used only in the context of li.odd, making that unnecessary as well.
#listo dd { }
Or that the same contained only one dd tag to begin with, making the most optimized selector just:
dd { }
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a neat plugin, definitely thanks for sharing. But getting the *exact* selector is less important imo than getting the quickest one. If it absolutely must select one element, one could give that elm an id.
WOW! really cool and useful tool. thanks
