clone()
This function returns a new set containing a copy of each element in a set; see "Dynamically
adding sections (cloning)" on page761.
To duplicate an existing template element, clone it before calling append(); see "Examples" on
page1114.
Note
Calling clone() multiple times before calling addAfter() or addBefore() currently
won't work, as each next clone will get the same default name and replaces the previous clone. To
avoid this you should either explicitly assign a unique name to each clone (i.e. not rely on the
default name), or call addAfter() or addBefore() before calling clone() again.
Examples
This script performs an iteration over the elements in the results (the elements that match the
selector of the script).
var row = query("tbody tr", results).clone();
query("tbody", results).append(row);
The following script clones an existing table row to match the number of rows in a detail table.
Afterwards it iterates over the rows to populate the fields.
// Create the number of rows based on the records in the detail
table
// We start at 1 so the boilerplate row is used too and there is no
need to delete that row
for(var r = 1; r < record.tables['detail'].length; r++) {
results.parent().append(results.clone());
}
// Iterate over the rows and populate them with the data from the
accompanying data row
query("#table_2 > tbody > tr").each(function(i) {
this.find('@ItemNumber@').text( record.tables['detail'][i].fields
["ItemNumber"]);
this.find('@ItemOrdered@').text( record.tables['detail'][i].fields
