clone()
This function returns a copy of one HTML element or of a set of HTML elements, which can be:
l The elements that match the selector of a script (see "results" on page1448).
l One element that matches the selector of a script that runs for "Each matched element"
(see "this" on page1364 and "Setting the scope of a script" on page883).
l The elements returned by a query in the template (see "query()" on page1319).
See also: "Dynamically adding sections (cloning)" on page924.
To duplicate an existing template element, clone it before calling append(); see "append()" on
page1373.
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
["ItemOrdered"]);
this.find('@ItemTotal@').text( record.tables['detail'][i].fields
