Get selected element's outer HTML
<p>I'm trying to get the HTML of a selected object with jQuery.  I am aware of the <code>.html()</code> function; the issue is that I need the HTML including the selected object (a table row in this case, where <code>.html()</code> only returns the cells inside the row).</p>

<p>I've searched around and found a few very ‘hackish’ type methods of cloning an object, adding it to a newly created div, etc, etc, but this seems really dirty.  Is there any better way, or does the new version of jQuery (1.4.2) offer any kind of <code>outerHtml</code> functionality?</p>
