duplicate html element with jquery

Question

anyone knows of any jquery plugin that handles duplication of some random html elements? I'm looking for a way to dynamically add identical rows to a form. I know its not hard to make, but i don't really want to reinvent the wheel here.

Answer 1

From jQuery API
The .clone() method, when used in conjunction with one of the insertion methods, is a convenient way to duplicate elements on a page.

$('originalSelector').clone().appendTo('selectorToPlaceClone')

Answer 2

For a native javascript solution, you can use .cloneNode(true)

duplicate = document.getElementById("originalSelector").cloneNode(true);
