drag and drop clone

[richardko]

hi,
i am trying to create a drag and drop utility where i want to duplicate the "div" that i am dragging so that when the "div" is dropped the original "div" is still in original location.

i tried clonenode but its not working. Are there any other methods to create exact copy of the item.
thanks
ro

cloneNode should work, although you will need to pass "true" as a parameter to clone all child nodes.

The only caveat, AFAIK, is that it does not clone events that have been attached - you might need to do that manually after the clone.

Hope this helps,
Dan

You would want to use cloneNode, then add it to your page. To use cloneNode by itself will not "paste" that div onto the viewing area, you have to add it with a method like

appendChild

<.
