Get XPath

Given a node this will return an array containing the XPath
Usage:

getXPath(document.getElementById('myelement'));

      function getXPath(node, path) {
        path = path || [];
        if(node.parentNode) {
          path = getXPath(node.parentNode, path);
        }

        if(node.previousSibling) {
          var count = 1;
          var sibling = node.previousSibling
          do {
            if(sibling.nodeType == 1 && sibling.nodeName == node.nodeName) {count++;}
            sibling = sibling.previousSibling;
          } while(sibling);
          if(count == 1) {count = null;}
        } else if(node.nextSibling) {
          var sibling = node.nextSibling;
          do {
            if(sibling.nodeType == 1 && sibling.nodeName == node.nodeName) {
              var count = 1;
              sibling = null;
            } else {
              var count = null;
              sibling = sibling.previousSibling;
            }
          } while(sibling);
        }

        if(node.nodeType == 1) {
          path.push(node.nodeName.toLowerCase() + (node.id ? "[@id='"+node.id+"']" : count > 0 ? "["+count+"]" : ''));
        }
        return path;
      };

Javascript Dialog box based on Prototype and Scriptaculous

This makes it super simple to create a modal dialog box. The page will be dimmed into the background and the dialog box popped up over top of it. The overlay can be clicked to close out of the box.

Use it thusly:
new Dialog.box([element ID]);
$([element ID]).show();
$([element ID]).hide();

Simple right?

var Dialog = {};
Dialog.Box = Class.create();
Object.extend(Dialog.Box.prototype, {
  initialize: function(id) {
    this.createOverlay();

    this.dialog_box = $(id);
    this.dialog_box.show = this.show.bind(this);
    this.dialog_box.hide = this.hide.bind(this);

    this.parent_element = this.dialog_box.parentNode;

    var e_dims = Element.getDimensions(this.dialog_box);
    var b_dims = Element.getDimensions(this.overlay);
    this.dialog_box.style.left = ((b_dims.width/2) - (e_dims.width/2)) + 'px';
    this.dialog_box.style.top = '12px';
  },

  createOverlay: function() {
    if($('dialog_overlay')) {
      this.overlay = $('dialog_overlay');
    } else {
      this.overlay = document.createElement('div');
      this.overlay.id = 'dialog_overlay';
      Object.extend(this.overlay.style, {
      	position: 'absolute',
      	top: 0,
      	left: 0,
      	zIndex: 90,
      	width: '100%',
      	backgroundColor: '#000',
      	display: 'none'
      });
      document.body.insertBefore(this.overlay, document.body.childNodes[0]);
    }
  },

  moveDialogBox: function(where) {
    Element.remove(this.dialog_box);
    if(where == 'back')
      this.dialog_box = this.parent_element.appendChild(this.dialog_box);
    else
      this.dialog_box = this.overlay.parentNode.insertBefore(this.dialog_box, this.overlay);
  },

  show: function() {
    this.overlay.style.height = $('body').getHeight()+'px';
    this.moveDialogBox('out');
    this.overlay.onclick = this.hide.bind(this);
    this.selectBoxes('hide');
    new Effect.Appear(this.overlay, {duration: 0.1, from: 0.0, to: 0.3});
    this.dialog_box.style.display = ''
  },

  hide: function() {
    this.selectBoxes('show');
    new Effect.Fade(this.overlay, {duration: 0.1});
    this.dialog_box.style.display = 'none';
    this.moveDialogBox('back');
    $A(this.dialog_box.getElementsByTagName('input')).each(function(e){if(e.type!='submit')e.value=''});
  },

  selectBoxes: function(what) {
    $A(document.getElementsByTagName('select')).each(function(select) {
      Element[what](select);
    });

    if(what == 'hide')
      $A(this.dialog_box.getElementsByTagName('select')).each(function(select){Element.show(select)})
  }
});
