You may want to use Element#name:

$ irb -r hpricot
>> d = Hpricot('<div id="my_first_div">first div<p>a paragraph</p><span>a span</span></div>')
=> #<Hpricot::Doc {elem <div id="my_first_div"> "first div" {elem <p> "a 
paragraph</\np>" {elem <span> "a span" </span>}} </div>}>
>> d.search('*').first.name
=> "div"
