Cool #JS algorithm problem that came up in my #WebAlmanac code:
You have an array of unordered DOM nodes. You want to put them in a JSON object that follows their relative containment relationships:
[{element: Node, inside: [{element, inside: […]}, …]}, …]
How do you do it?

Will post my solution tomorrow (unless someone else posts the same one)!
Clarifications: the array with the "inside" key is the descendants of the element on the object it's on, not the ancestors. I.e. obj.inside[0] is a descendant of obj.element.
Oh, and you can assume they are all HTMLElement, not just any DOM nodes.
