externalHTML jQuery插件

innerHTML（）是本机的，它返回DOM节点的内容（例如<span>I live inside a div.</span> 。externalHTML（）则不是，它将包括当前的DOM节点（例如<div><span>I live inside a div.</span></div> ）中，这是可链接的jQuery版本。

$.fn.outerHTML = function(){
 
    // IE, Chrome & Safari will comply with the non-standard outerHTML, all others (FF) will have a fall-back for cloning
    return (!this.length) ? this : (this[0].outerHTML || (
      function(el){
          var div = document.createElement('div');
          div.appendChild(el.cloneNode(true));
          var contents = div.innerHTML;
          div = null;
          return contents;
    })(this[0]));
 
}
