Solution 1

This is very simple.

In a loop, get Node.parentNode until document node is reached. One way of doing this is checking Node.nodeType; the loops ends when nodeType == Document; another way is checking the condition of null parent node.

To get a full path concatenate the values of Node.nodeName on the left side of the current path with some delimiter between nodeName values.
