cloneNode
The cloneNode method returns a duplicate of the current node.
Syntax
dupNode = element.cloneNode(deep)Parameters
deep is a boolean value indicating whether the clone is a deep clone or not (see notes below).
Example
Notes
The duplicate node returned by cloneNode() has no parent. Cloning a node copies all of its attributes and their values but does not copy any of the text that the node contains, since that text is contained in a child Text node.
A deep clone is a clone in which the given node and the whole subtree beneath it (including the text that makes up any child Text nodes) is copied and returned.
