I have a webpage I want to use with YQL. But I need the XPath of a specific item. I can see it in the debug tools area for Google Chrome but I don't see a way to copy that XPath.

Is there a way to copy a full XPath?

You can use $x in the Chrome javascript console. No extensions needed.

ex: $x("//img")

Also the search box in the web inspector will accept xpath
