Say I have

$(:input[type=text]:first)

How do I get

<input type=text value= size=28 maxlength=140 tabindex=1 placeholder=search class=textbox name=q autocomplete=off>

Assuming I run this on SO?

Update I don't want to call .parent() since I have lots of other stuff in the parent element.

var selector = :input[type=text]:first;



var str = $(selector).clone().wrap('<div/>').parent().html();

Update You don't need to worry about calling .parent() since you're working with an orphaned clone of the original selector.
