cloneNode Method

Creates a new node that is an exact clone of this node.

Syntax

objDOMNode  = oDOMNode.cloneNode(deep)

Parameters

deep

Boolean. Flag that indicates whether to recursively clone all nodes that are descendants of this node. If true, create a clone of the complete tree below this node. If false, clone this node and its attributes only.

Returns

Object. Returns the newly created clone node.

Remarks

The cloned node has the same property values as this node for the following properties: nodeName, nodeValue, nodeType, parentNode, ownerDocument, and (if it is an element) attributes. The value of the clone's childNodes property depends on the setting of the deep flag parameter.
