I mean an array of them. That is a chain from top HTML to destination element including the element itself.

for example for element <A> it would be:

[HTML, BODY, DIV, DIV, P, SPAN, A]

A little shorter (and safer, since target may not be found):

var a = document.getElementById(target);

var els = [];

while (a) {

    els.unshift(a);

    a = a.parentNode;

}
