I've used doc.markText() to mark a specific variable in my CodeMirror. How can I get the DOM element for this mark? I've been looking through the mark object returned by markText() and I haven't noticed any method or attribute.

window.myEditor.marks[i] = myCodeMirrorInstance.markText(
        {line: myLineNum, ch: myToken.start}, 
        {line: myLineNum, ch: myToken.end},
        {className: "foobar"}
    );

At this point I've saved the mark to be globally accessible. I'm wondering if I Code Mirror has something like window.myEditor.marks[i].getDOMElement(). Thanks!

I worked around this by setting title to something like 'HAX' and then finding the span via jQuery with $('span[title="HAX"]'). Seems like a missing feature although perhaps it's intentional to avoid add-ons that rely on manual DOM manipulation.

I would be more than happy to get the DOM element from cursorActivity event in the codemirror object as lastElementClicked.
