Copy Element

[YuenLian Wu]

Hi all,

I have a combo box contains data loaded from server side. I want to duplicate this combo Element, which means I want the same content stored in the combo box and display it right next to the original one. Is there any fast way to copy an element in javascript ?


cheers

Is there any reason why you can't just do it on the server side?

my form contains a lot of elements, and I wish I can do it at once, just like java, write once, run anywhere

might be able to try to clone the node of the select element, not sure if it will copy all of the options. Probbaly the easiest thing is to use createElement with the select and than use new Option() with a for loop.

just do like this,use the method cloneNode() to clone a node and add it to anywhere you want by appendChild()...

<select id="ddddd"><option value="dddd">fasdfd</option></select>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var obj = document.getElementById("ddddd").cloneNode(true);
document.body.appendChild(obj);
//-->
</SCRIPT>
