Object & it's copies creation confused...

[EugenePaliev]

Hi folks!

Need help on object creation & calling it's copies. What I wnat - to create one SPAN object and later insert copies of it into different parts of my document.

Code I use to create SPAN:
[tt]
function newSpan(){
var o=document.createElement("span");
// some attributes set here
o.onclick=function(){Expand(someArguments)}
return o
}
[/tt]

And later make a copy of it like this:
[tt]obj=new newSpan();[/tt]

I feel that I'm doing it not really good, I'm confused that I have to do it with [tt]prototype[/tt]. Do I have to?

Or maybe I'd better use [tt]o.cloneNode()[/tt] for making copies?

Thanks for your replies!

Good Luck!

There's no reason not to use .cloneNode... it does the job perfectly well.

Hope this helps,
Dan
