How to clone a dom element using native javascript I needed to clone a dom element in a project and have searched this at google and stackoverflow but i just finded a lot of big functions to do this, looking at jsref I findend the cloneNode method, a native javascript method to clone dom elements.

clonenode.js

//Syntax
 
var dupNode = node.cloneNode(deep);
 
/*
node  -> The node to be cloned.
dupNode  ->  The new node that will be a clone of node
deep (Optional) -> 
  [true] if the children of the node should also be cloned, or [
  false] to clone only the specified node.
*/
 
 
//Example
 
var p = document.getElementById("para1"),
    p_prime = p.cloneNode(true);
